saving the file pointed to by a dropbox link

2013-07-26 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick
Hi all, A mate of mine has just given me a dropbox link to an MP3 via twitter. When I click the link, it opens in Safari straight in the embedded quicktime player. How can I save the file? I've done this before but can I remember how? Course not. Cheers, Dónal Dr. Dónal Fitzpatrick, Schoo

Hi, I believe the command you want is option return. Go to the location bar first with command L, and you should be able to save it. Best, Zack. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 26, 2013, at 10:46 AM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: > Hi all, > > A mate of mine has just given me a dropbox link to an MP3

lol. I've done that many a time. Don't worry about it. I in fact did that just a few weeks ago when downloading a 4 gig something or other for a friend and was wondering why the size was not changing. Good luck and glad your problem's solved. On Jul 26, 2013, at 11:46 AM, Dónal Fitzpatrick

Hello Sarah, File downloads are loaded into temporary space on your Mac while the download is in progress. There's usually also some system process of evaluating check bits to make sure you didn't lose some of the file in the transfer process due to a bad connection. I think that with certain
