    Trying to get the direct link in the browser pops up an ad for an upgrade option. I see the other answer (superuser.com/a/486351/106977) involving ?dl=1, but that does not allow one to get at the link either (probably due to Box's preventing use unless you upgrade).

  • @amotzg is there a way to resume the download from dropbox with flag --continue? It seems not working to me. (unix.stackexchange.com/questions/174850/…) Commented Dec 19, 2014 at 13:36

    This add-on helped with a shared dropbox link which requires a password to download it. Note, right clicking on the "download" button, selecting cliget gives you the URL to the ?dl=0 output, which is a smaller file. Changing that to ?dl=1 gives the correct download path.

  • Thanks for that extension. Helpful. Wondering why most pages don't give wget links. How are we supposed to figure it out ourselves?
