Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file - eviltoast

On mobile, it prompts you to either “get the app” or “open app” with no way to click past. Screenshot won’t upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

    Then I would question whether the file was shared correctly by the uploader. I shared a file from my Dropbox, setting it so anyone with the link could view, and was able to download it from desktop view on mobile Firefox (in incognito mode)

    There is an option to require a password to view the file, is there any possibility that that was set in your case?

        Only other thing I can think of is the specific mobile device/browser combo isn’t properly requesting the desktop site. Or there is somehow an entirely separate sharing option that is functioning differently

          It is requesting it properly. Mobile site only gives me option to download or open app.
