    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1511840"&gt;@johnhesler&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;While you are talking for link access, it's possible. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt; Link is something public and direct accessible. But you have done a mistake in your code. Take in mind that the same link can has different forms. The link you are using in your code is preview link (ends on '?dl=0'). So, it's NOT pointing to actual file, but a page to targeting preview the same&amp;nbsp; file! In this case you are downloading page's HTML code (did you check it &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@FBF7D2AB59A0D6E861EBF6A36F93B7E2/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;). To download actual file your link should ends on '?dl=1'. That's it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ADD: Actually you don't need to use any API calls (since you know link pointing actual file). Just download it!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On other side using 'dbx.sharing_get_shared_link_file' requires user authentication. If you want use this method, then you need valid user authentication, despite doesn't matter who gets authenticated.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Download other user dropbox file without my dropbox token</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Download-other-user-dropbox-file-without-my-dropbox-token/m-p/604101#M28071</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;To download other user dropbox file i use&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;with&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;open&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;"rc.xlsx"&lt;/SPAN&gt;, &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;"wb"&lt;/SPAN&gt;) &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;as&lt;/SPAN&gt; f:
    shared_link = &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;"https://www.dropbox.com/s/xx/xx.xlsx?dl=0"&lt;/SPAN&gt;
    metadata, res = dbx.sharing_get_shared_link_file(url=shared_link,link_password =&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;'xxxx'&lt;/SPAN&gt;)
    f.write(res.content)&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Even so this is not my file i still need mydropbox token to download it. Is it possible to avoid it ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(mydropbox_token)&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I also check this but can't acess the solution From &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python#tutorial" target="_self"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python#tutorial&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In order to make calls to the API, you'll need an instance of the Dropbox object. To instantiate, pass in the access token for the account you want to link.&lt;/P&gt;
