If you have a shared link you can use any command line http client. Here's example with winhttpjs.bat with a link from my dropbox :

winhttpjs.bat "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/96959329/wtime.bat" -saveto wtime.bat

If you want to use user name and password you can try with:

winhttpjs.bat "https://www.dropbox.com/home/folder?preview=my.file" -saveto my.file  -user someone@mail.com -password superSecretPass

though you need to click on the file you want to see the link.

This might work with direct links however dropbox share links are not direct. the file will be saved with html code in it. A solution would be to use a direct link generator such as http://syncwithtech.blogspot.com/p/direct-download-link-generator.html – Mark Deven Aug 15 '18 at 16:23
