Download Dropbox links using FTP server
Hello,
I have many Dropbox links which I am downloading on a regular basis. However there are many links to downloads and If I sync those then it will take a lot of time because it syncs one file at a time.
Hence, is there a way to download Dropbox links using the FTP connection or server.
Thanks in advance.

No. Dropbox does not support FTP access.
There are third-party applciations/services that can provide FTP access to your files, but they are not supported by Dropbox. Try a Google search.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for your reply and basically I receive a lot of download link from the customer.
I use to download it from the web but it takes a lot of time because it is downloaded as zip and if I sync it then sync process is very slow.
Hence, is this something possible that I can save that link to my linked FTP account and can later download with the FTP server where I can get the multiple concurrent connections.
Please suggest. Thanks.
