I have a URL that allows me to anonymously download from Dropbox that is successful in browser but I cannot figure out how to use a non-authenticated connection to Dropbox in my DropboxConnector in my workspace. The files are not in my Dropbox account, but in another account and I only have an open URL to download them. Any ideas how to connect to Dropbox anonymously or without a authenticated web connection?

Have a look here and try appending "?dl=1" to the end of the url when passing it into the HTTPCaller
