How can users download files immediately from a shared link?

- we've asked multiple agents over the years for a request to make a smoother experience for our clients... I want to share a link to a photo to a client to download, they don't want to sign up for a dropbox account or even know what dropbox is, they should not see an advertising screen to sign up or sign in to download a simple linked file (not a shared folder)
- as a business customer, the client facing side should be able to be branded and feel like it's OUR business not dropbox, yes there's a logo, but that's it, the process for a client to simply view and download an image feels clunky and not client friendly

 

We're hoping that as a business customer, we can stop forcing our clients to go through 2 screens and dropbox branding to download a file

    Hi Justo57, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Have you tried using the dl=1 option for the link to immediately download the file, without them having to view it on the Dropbox site?

     

    Would this satisfy your requirements?
