How Do I Download Multiple Files From Dropbox
Dropbox will keep your files safe and secure online and, at the same time, make them instantly available to view or download by anyone without the need to log in to the file owner's account. This may seem paradoxical, but it is not. Dropbox enables its users to provide a 'Sharing link,' or URL, that they or others can use to view or download a specific file or folder without logging in.
Download Multiple Files At Once
Then, you can do what you can just like in Dropbox webpage including download/upload files, create new folder, delete an item, rename a file/folder, copy/copy to or cut (move), share a photo/picture, etc.
Having the most obvious feature of downloading multiple files at once is not available in dropbox and if it is, it certainly is a hard task to figure the crap out. And by the way your little help button on the lower left side is not so helpful at all.
A zip archive containing all dropbox submissions will appear in the top level folder. Click on the archive file to download it to your computer.
Creating a Dropbox Share Link
1.
Sign in to your Dropbox account.
2.
Select the 'Share link' icon for the file or folder you want to download.
3.
Copy the file or folder's URL displayed in your browser's address box. You can save the address to a document for later use or paste it into an email or chat message to share with others.
Download Dropbox File or Folder
1.
Launch your Web browser.
2.
Type or paste the file or folder's Dropbox URL into the browser's address field, and then press 'Enter.'
3.
Select the 'Download' button to download a single file. If you are downloading an entire folder, however, select 'Download' followed by 'Download as zip' to save the folder's contents as a single, compressed ZIP archive.

Reader Dwayne Norris has a problem with Dropbox links. He writes:
A friend sent me a link to a movie file they’d like to share with me on Dropbox. The link appears in this form: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/test.mov. When I click on the link, Safari launches and the movie starts playing. I’d like to download the file directly but can’t find a way. Do you have any advice?
Starting the week with one of this column’s shortest answers, I do indeed.
There are a couple of ways to tackle this. First, you can click the link, wait for your web browser to start loading the file, click in the location bar, hold down the Option key, and then press Return. The file will download.

Alternatively you can append ?dl=1 to the end of the link, so http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/test.mov?dl=1. This will force your browser to download rather than preview the file.
