Go to Dropbox.com, find your file, and click the Share button that appears when you hover over it. Then copy the link from the popup—tap Show link first if you don't see the link.

you'll have a link like:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hriinb9w3a2107m/iPad%20intro.pdf

To get a direct download link, just paste your link into a text editor and replace the www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com, which will give you a link like:

### Comment 2

In either the file listing (for an entire file) or within a file (for just one item), click the three dots on the right side of the item in the list, choose download and then - download!
