You seem to be asking two separate things; how to save a file to your Dropbox from a share link, and how someone using the Chooser can send you a file. What is it that you actually need to do?

 

If you're viewing a share link and you want to save the file to your Dropbox, click the down arrow on the Download button and select Save to my Dropbox.

If I do this, will the person who shared the dropbox file with me lose it? I don't want to move the file from their dropbox, but I want to put a copy on mine from a shared file.
