How to upload a file to Dropbox with URL?

Question

I can find many guides and examples of how to upload a file from an SD card to your Dropbox account. But how can I upload a file that is not in sdcard, and all I have is a url? I do not want to download it and then download it because the file is 400 MB in size.

Answer 1

Save web files ( http://ctrlq.org/save/ ) can do this. (just visit the website on your android)

Answer 2

Dropbox implemented this as an API call: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/06/programmatically-saving-a-url-to-dropbox/

DBinbox.com is currently being redeployed for easier use :)

Answer 3

You can upload url files to Dropbox exactly with a third-party application like MultCloud: https://www.multcloud.com/tutorials/upload-url-to-dropbox-5566.html for FREE!
