Download Files from a Web Address Straight to Your Dropbox

URL Droplet is a simple webapp that allows you to paste in the download link for a file and have it download straight to your Dropbox, so you can deal with later. Using the webapp, a user could start a large download while out on their mobile phone, on a company computer at work, or just sitting at an internet cafe.

The downloaded file is saved in the main Dropbox directory—if it were saved to public, anybody could see what you’ve been getting. Because of this, URL Droplet needs access to Dropbox, so you should be comfortable granting permissions to third-party apps.
