Use the main screen on Dropbox to find the file that you want to download from Dropbox.

How to download files from the Dropbox website You can also download files from Dropbox more easily if you install a special Dropbox program on your computer. If you want to take your files off Dropbox and put them back on your computer, you can open them on the Dropbox website and then save them somewhere on your computer.

But what if you’re taking your device somewhere where you don’t have Internet access, but you still want to work with your files while you’re there? Or what if you want to safeguard a copy of a file that you’ve shared with someone, or that they’ve shared with you, in case it gets changed or deleted on Dropbox and you miss the 30-day deadline for recovering it (with a free account)? That means you can get at them from all of your different devices, and recover them or revert to past versions if they get deleted or changed, respectively.

Okay, so now you have your files on Dropbox.
