Sharing a file with people without Dropbox accounts

I have a PDF I want to share with people so they can download it, but I don't want them to have to create a Dropbox account (or sign in) to download it.   Is there a way to do this with Dropbox? ...

    Hey novalin, thanks for sending me the steps. 

     

    It sounds as if you've shared the file directly, instead of using a shared link. Can you try following these steps and share the link to them via an email or any other means? 

     

    They should be able to view the link without a Dropbox account too.
