Firefox. XP3.
My friend loaded some personally recorded mp3 files for me to download from Dropbox. However, when I follow the link I only get a Quicktime media player in a browser window. How can I download the actual files themselves?
The link here in related questions refers to Macs. I also did a google search to no avail.
Download Videos from Dropbox to iPad or iPad mini. Dropbox works the same on both iPhone and iPad. We will be using the screenshots of Dropbox on an iPhone in following instructions. There will be just two steps to download videos from Dropbox to iPad. Share Dropbox on iPad. Run the Dropbox app on iPad.
Thanks for your help.

In Firefox go to Tools/Options Applications Tab, search down the list until you find mp3 (or music files, or quicktime file, it depends on what program is associated with mp3s) and change the option to always ask, that way Firefox should ask you if you want to download the mp3 file.
What you're trying to do is built right into DropBox. Click on the little downwards-facing arrow next to file, then click on 'download now'. It should ask you to save the file to the disk, and not open it in the browser.
Two things to try:
- Go back to the link your friend sent. See if you can right click on it and 'Save target as...' or 'Save link as...'
- Try 'Save Page As' in the 'File menu' from the window that has the media player in it.
How Do I Download From Dropbox To A Flash Drive
Ctrl-click (or two-finger-tap) on the link to the file and choose 'Download Linked File'.
I often use this little trick to download links.
- Copy and paste the following code in a new HTML file, say
download.html - Open it with browser
- Right click the link > Save Link As (or equivalent)
