Drop box tip for downloading

When copying a link from your public dropbox, it looks like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/utws2mjfpgcoo ... t.png?dl=0

Clicking that link will take you to the dropbox download page ....

but if you change the last 0 to a 1:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/utws2mjfpgcoo ... t.png?dl=1

it becomes an instant download

cool

It's been already mentioned in a sticky by me some time ago.

But glad you made it as a new post, people tend to forget to look inside sticky posts.

Then I'll add, it also works for images:

Awesome! I used to replace the "www.dropbox.com" with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" but this way is much easier!

that's a pretty neat trick. thanks for sharing!

Ahhh nice trick, everyone should know about it. It's really annoying that you're always taken to the dropbox page when clicking a dropbox link nowadays.

with dl=0 you can't even right click the link for direct download.

dl=1 should be standard.

Hopefully they wont break download links again.
