If it makes any difference, this was on Dropbox transfer link and not main site.

    Hey xicor!

    I'd like to point out as a first thing, that Brave isn't an officially supported browser. You can see more about this in the relevant Help Center article. 

    Could you confirm that the built-in VPN is switched to off too? 

    Since you mentioned that this happens when using a Transfer link, I'd also recommend directly accessing the Dropbox site to see if you can download files from there.
