@MOUHROUH I see that you're trying to use the /2/files/download endpoint to download a file from a Dropbox link. The /2/files/download endpoint is only for downloading files directly from a connected account, not from a link. (The actual error you got when trying to use it is indicating that you submitted data in the HTTP request body, where none was expected.)

Anyway, based on the output, it looks like you have a link of the form 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/...'. That's an old type of direct link. If you have an active link of that type, you can download from it directly using an HTTPS client, without using the Dropbox API. I.e., issue a GET request to it and if successful, the response body will be the file content.

How can i do with direct link?

Greg-DB

If you have a direct link to a file, you can download from it directly using a normal HTTPS request. For instance, using curl, saving the data to a local file, that would look like:

curl URL_HERE -o local_file

Exactly how you do that will depend on what HTTPS client you're using, which isn't specific to the Dropbox API, so I can't offer insight on that.
