      <description>To download a file from a Dropbox shared link directly to your own Dropbox account, you can use the /2/files/save_url endpoint:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Note that this only works if the shared link is for a file, not a whole folder. If you need to download specific files from a shared link for a folder (or the whole folder), you'll need to do so individually using /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Or by downloading the whole folder as documented here:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You can then upload to your own account as desired, e.g., using /2/files/upload:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.</description>
