Dropbox is a cloud service that lets you carry your home desktop files with you, no matter where you go from one city to another, from country to another or anywhere in the world.It lets you sync all your files across all your devices whether tablet, laptop, smartphones, etc. You just need to create an account and get started uploading files. If you want more space you can upgrade to paid service. You can upload files to your Dropbox folder from any device and from anywhere, but what about online files? Can you download online files to your Dropbox folder? Dropbox itself don't offers you to download files from internet but using third party tools you can download online file directly to your Dropbox folder.
Here I am giving two tools or online services that you can use to download files to your Dropbox folder.
1. URL Droplet
This is a web service that you can use to download files from internet to your Dropbox folder.
• Visit urldroplet.com and sign in with your Dropbox account.
• It will ask for permission, click Allow. Now you will get the main page on which you will get the option to enter the file URL and save it.
• Enter the file URL and click Save.
2. sideCloudload
This is another tool or web service that not only lets you download online files but also maintains different folder for different files. This service also works the same as the URL Droplet. Visit sidecloudload.com and sign in with your Dropbox account and allow it to access your account. Now enter the file URL in the Source URL field and click submit.
You can specify the path for the file to download otherwise it will create a folder and download the file in that folder.
Note: You must use third party app only when you trust them, because by using them you have grant them to access your account.
