Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks! That link appears to work, and using it with the Dropbox API /save_url endpoint does successfully save a file to my account. Inspecting the file, however, shows that it actually just saves the HTML page. The file begins with:

...and so on.
That makes sense though, as your link, e.g., when tested in a browser, does yield an HTML page, and not the .pdf file itself, which is displayed interactively in the browser on that HTML page.
If you want to save the actual .pdf file itself, you'll need a link that returns the actual PDF content directly. That's outside the scope of Dropbox API support of course though, so I recommend referring to the OneDrive documentation or support.
