      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear community,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was wondering if it is possible to use a the ruby dropbox API to access and download publically shared files without authentication?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You can do that from the web as long as you have the URL but I could not find any way to make this possible inside my app.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Any help on how I can make this work will be appreciated :)!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>If you have a shared link for the file, the simplest way to download it is to modify the URL parameter(s) as shown 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 download from the modified link.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Otherwise, if you do want to use the API, you can use the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint:&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;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Oh.. this DL=1 is just what I needed! Thank you so much :)!&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;P.S.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Unfortunately when I put it as a download link in ruby it still does not work even though it works through brower. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@EA4D5AD6084EAC95CB4E739348E74CC6/emoticons/1f615.png" alt=":confused_face:" title=":confused_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>How does it fail exactly? Can you share your code?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;One thing to be aware of is that the dl=1 link will return a redirect first, so make sure your HTTP client will follow redirects.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Greg,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Your answer is correct, it is me who is faulty.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It seems the dl=1 solution is not a direct link but when requested it sends a response with the direct link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I had to work this over with ruby so I can tell ruby to get the request and THEN use it as download source.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thank you for the help and dedication!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
