You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

How can users download files immediately from a shared link?
- we've asked multiple agents over the years for a request to make a smoother experience for our clients... I want to share a link to a photo to a client to download, they don't want to sign up for a dropbox account or even know what dropbox is, they should not see an advertising screen to sign up or sign in to download a simple linked file (not a shared folder)
- as a business customer, the client facing side should be able to be branded and feel like it's OUR business not dropbox, yes there's a logo, but that's it, the process for a client to simply view and download an image feels clunky and not client friendly
We're hoping that as a business customer, we can stop forcing our clients to go through 2 screens and dropbox branding to download a file

Hi Justo57, thanks for messaging the Community!
Have you tried using the dl=1 option for the link to immediately download the file, without them having to view it on the Dropbox site?
Would this satisfy your requirements?
