    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;BR /&gt;I'm using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_download" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_download&lt;/A&gt; for download file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I&amp;nbsp;want to provide directly a link to the end user or download start just load the code.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm using the dropbox API from a server side. If I use this method I will need two steps to download a file (1. from Dropbox to my WebServer; 2. From my webserver to the endUser machine). I want to avoid this 2 steps, and having a direct link or direct download is a good option for&amp;nbsp;it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>To let the user download the file directly, you can instead use /2/files/get_temporary_link to get a link to the file, and pass the link to the client:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link&lt;/A&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi Greg,&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks for reply.&lt;BR /&gt;What’s about expiration of this temporary link?&lt;BR /&gt;May i can expire this link after user click/download file? Or is there any way for direct download file (no need to click any button) just load page and file automatically start to download..</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;These links expire after four hours. It's not possible to manually expire them earlier than that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you control the web server and the user is using a typical web browser/client, you can probably return a redirect to the temporary link itself. Exactly how you do so would depend on your web framework though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
