How can I download a video from Dropbox and then upload it to YouTube?
How do I download a video from dropbox onto my desktop to upload to Youtube?
Ok, this is the last way I can think to download a file:
1) Click on the "Share" button, then select "Create a link"
2) Then click "Copy link."
3) Now you will have something like
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1abcdefghijklmn/YOUR-FILE?dl=0
copied to your clipboard. Paste it into your web browser and change the last
...dl=0
to
...dl=1
then go to the web page. It should present you with a download screen.

To download any file from your Dropbox: find the file in your list of Files, click the More Options icon (the three dots), and select "Download."
Easy Peasy!

Thanks for the reply farhantejani.
But instead of downloading my video it downloads something and when I open it, this is what comes up: http://prntscr.com/jqxniv
Still not working for me.
Another way to download files is by cliking on them so they open in the preview screen then dowloading from the top right corner.

- The problem is the format. The Dropbox version is not compatible

Hey Bob L, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
I'd be happy to help, I'll just need more info just so that I can have a better understanding of your concern. For example:
- Are you trying to download a file directly from the website?
- What is the extension of the file that you're trying to download?
- Are you getting any specific errors? If so, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info)?
Any additional details you could share would be very helpful. Thanks!
