Dropbox will keep your files safe and secure online and, at the same time, make them instantly available to view or download by anyone without the need to log in to the file owner's account. This may seem paradoxical, but it is not. Dropbox enables its users to provide a 'Sharing link,' or URL, that they or others can use to view or download a specific file or folder without logging in.
Creating a Dropbox Share Link
1.Sign in to your Dropbox account.
2.Select the 'Share link' icon for the file or folder you want to download.
3.Copy the file or folder's URL displayed in your browser's address box. You can save the address to a document for later use or paste it into an email or chat message to share with others.
Download Dropbox File or Folder
1.Launch your Web browser.
2.Type or paste the file or folder's Dropbox URL into the browser's address field, and then press 'Enter.'
3.Select the 'Download' button to download a single file. If you are downloading an entire folder, however, select 'Download' followed by 'Download as zip' to save the folder's contents as a single, compressed ZIP archive.

Move Pictures From Dropbox
If you have a Windows computer, downloading files off Dropbox is easy if you have the Dropbox program installed. In fact, it might be the only way to get certain files off Dropbox, since they are only meant to support certain programs and can’t (or aren’t meant to) be opened directly.
Some methods of downloading files off Dropbox will still work on the Dropbox website. See our How to Download Files from Dropbox.com tutorial to learn about them.
Downloading Files off Dropbox in Windows
Downloading files off Dropbox by using the Windows program works basically the same way as uploading them, except that it works in reverse.
How Do I Download Pictures From Dropbox
Find and open the folder called “Dropbox” on your computer, which the Dropbox program for Windows created when you installed it. If the Dropbox program is running (by default, it’s automatically set to run when you turn on your computer), there’s an easy way to find this folder. Click the Dropbox icon () in your toolbar at the bottom-right corner of your desktop screen, and then click the Open Dropbox Folder icon ().
Now, use the explorer window for your “Dropbox folder” to find the file that you want to put back onto your computer, and (optionally) use another explorer window to find and open the place where you want to move your file. Now, click and hold the mouse button down on the file that you want to download from Dropbox, drag that file onto your desktop screen (or the place that you previously opened where you want to put the file), and let go of the mouse button. Voila! The file is off Dropbox and back on your computer!
NOTE: Like when you upload files through the Dropbox access program, this will NOT leave behind an extra copy of the file, and so you’ll have to create an extra copy on Dropbox if you want a backup of that file in case something happens to it on your computer.

Well, that’s about all there is to downloading files from Dropbox in Windows!
