You seem to be asking two separate things; how to save a file to your Dropbox from a share link, and how someone using the Chooser can send you a file. What is it that you actually need to do?
If you're viewing a share link and you want to save the file to your Dropbox, click the down arrow on the Download button and select Save to my Dropbox.
but i want that when someone share a link in my website with my dropbox app which i linked with dropbox chooser, that shared link/file will automatically be saved to my dropbox account.
- RichThat's something you would need to program yourself using the Dropbox API. After the uses passes the file to your website, you'll need to create your own code to then pass that file to your Dropbox account.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40357532/how-to-save-a-file-from-dropbox-link-in-my-dropbox ] If I do this, will the person who shared the dropbox file with me lose it? I don't want to move the file from their dropbox, but I want to put a copy on mine from a shared file.
