I can't download shared folder with curl
For some reason, downloading folder from shared link is working not as expected.
What i do:
- Creating folder "_test"
- Making public link
- trying to save:
curl https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gm775ysbj2hy53s/AADUFPm6S4QtTztv52traWTka?dl=1 -o test.zip -J -L -k
unsuccessfull, getting some script content instead of zip with files.
- Sharing this folder through interface link
- after changing some folder settings SOMETIMES link appears to work properly and i can download folder in ZIP, but for now it looks like some **bleep** magic and i can't understand what i should do to make it happens all time.

Thanks for the report! We'll check on this and follow up here. I'm getting the exact same experience with a curl call that has been working for over a year until seeminly this past Saturday night (EST). Even with redirects on it returns this same webpage.
kindly appreciate fast solution :)
looks like it works now, hope it will work forever 8)
thanks!
