Thanks for the update, Callard.
In that case, you won't be able to save files directly to your Dropbox, except if you're using a third party service that would export files to Dropbox directly.
However, if you were to use the Dropbox desktop app, the app would create a local Dropbox folder on your drive.
This is a folder like any other folder on your computer, just with syncing abilities, so files you add/delete/edit in that folder, would sync with your Dropbox account on the website.
And since it's just a normal folder, you can change your browser's download location to the Dropbox folder, so whatever you download, would get saved to your Dropbox folder.
I hope this helps!

Yes, it helps to know how it could work but it isn't the solution I want because I don't want these files on my hard drive. Is there a 3rd party recommendation?
