    I feel your pain.  Here's what I had to do in order to download photos to my Macbook Pro:

    1. Select files to download
    2. Click "Share Link" 
    3. When Pop-up is displayed, press "Copy Link"
    4. Give Dropbox a few seconds while it generates a link.
    5. At the bottom of the screen you will see another pop-up that says "Preview Link" - press when available.
    6. Your files should all appear on screen.  Then in the upper righthand of the screen select Download > Direct download 

    Good luck!!  I hope it works for you
