Someone shared a photo folder with me on dropbox. I would like to download the dropbox folder containing images on a Linux box, without installing any dropbox software.

I am aware of this answer to the question, which explains how to add dl=1 at the end of the url, but Using the command :

wget 'https://www.dropbox.com/sh/my_folder_url?dl=1'

I get

ERROR 400: Bad Request.

Since 2012 the dropbox API has probably changed? Is it possible to download a dropbox folder with wget?
