Is it possible to bypass the 'sign in' prompt when viewing shared links?

When I share dropbox file links to someone without Dropbox account.

The message will be shown and it will discourage people from viewing this file.

Does anyone know how to make it disapear without clicking the "X" or "No thanks, continue to view" text?

    Hi yoyochen, thanks for posting today!

     

    Currently, it isn’t possible to bypass the prompt to view the file on the Dropbox site.

     

    If you prefer to view the file without the comments pane, or any Dropbox interface, you can change the dl=0 to raw=1 to preview it.

     

    Hope this helps!
