Thanks, Jay. That works for normal files. But apparently not for vCard files (MyName.vcf). I am sure this isn't the first time someone has asked this but I couldn't find any previous questions or answers. There must be a way to link to a vCard in dropbox.

When you say download, do you want the vCard to be downloaded to the machine, or for it to open automatically, to be added to a person’s contact list?- GaryA8 years agoExplorer | Level 3
