Download Using HTTP Not HTTPS

Greetings,

I am a developer, for my case i need to download files from Dropbox using http (not it's not https)..

 

google drive and ms both support http and https for the same link/file, but unfortunately when i try to download using http Dropbox redirect to https chancel/link/protocol.

 

for example: following link for Microsoft works fine with http.. it does not redirect to https..

No, Dropbox does not offer an option for downloading over HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Need more support?
