odern browsers can automatically detect or handle many file types today. For instance, clicking image links in a browser will typically open the image within the browser rather than download it to your desktop. To bypass the preview page and allow your browser to handle your files, replace www with dl and dropbox with dropboxusercontent in your URL. For example:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xttkmuvu7hh72vu/MyFile.pdf
 
Becomes:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xttkmuvu7hh72vu/MyFile.pdf
 
Using the new direct link above, you can further modify the URL to force the browser to download the file, rather than handle it natively. To force a file download, append a direct link with ?dl=1. Example:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xttkmuvu7hh72vu/MyFile.pdf?dl=1
