| # if someone send you a link to a dropbox shared folder and you don't want to install the dropbox client | |
| # and it is not possible to download the whole folder via dropbox, than the following script could help you | |
| # change DROPBOXURL to your link url | |
| wget "DROPBOXURL" -O down.html | |
| # where DROPBOX URL is something like: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ID?dl=0 | |
| cat down.html \ | |
| | sed "s|href|\\nhref=|g" \ | |
| | grep "href=\":" \ | |
| | grep "https://www.dropbox.com" \ | |
| | sed "s|?dl=0.*|?dl=0|g" \ | |
| | sed "s|href=\": \"||g" > links.list | |
| wget -i links.list --directory-prefix download | |
| # all files will be stored in the directory `download` |
yes, sorry, this is a piece of code 6 years old, and it will definitively not work anymore, it may be a good starting point for a new script. Unfortunately, I do not use dropbox anymore.
OK, this works:
curl -L -o download.zip "DROPBOXURL"
