This help article documents some parameters you can use to get different behaviors from Dropbox shared links:

For example, using this link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/igoku2mqsjqsmx1/AAAeF57DR2ou_nZGC4JPoQKfa

We can use the dl parameter to get a direct download. Using curl, we can download it as such:

curl -L https://www.dropbox.com/sh/igoku2mqsjqsmx1/AAAeF57DR2ou_nZGC4JPoQKfa?dl=1 > download.zip

(The -L is necessary in order to follow redirects.)

Or, with wget, something like:

wget --max-redirect=20 -O download.zip https://www.dropbox.com/sh/igoku2mqsjqsmx1/AAAeF57DR2ou_nZGC4JPoQKfa
