Download Using HTTP Not HTTPS
Greetings,
I am a developer, for my case i need to download files from Dropbox using http (not it's not https)..
google drive and ms both support http and https for the same link/file, but unfortunately when i try to download using http Dropbox redirect to https chancel/link/protocol.
for example: following link for Microsoft works fine with http.. it does not redirect to https..
http://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/7afca223-55d2-470a-8edc-6a1739ae3252/abd170b4b0ec15ad0222a809b761a036/ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe
but if i try like following url, it's get redirected to https 😞

thanks in advance
best regards

No, Dropbox does not offer an option for downloading over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
