describe the feature you'd like to see

Dropbox typically demands an account creation or login to download content.

This process can be tedious and time-consuming, especially if you’re just looking to get something done and move on. That’s why I believe Cobalt would be an ideal solution to facilitate easy downloads from Dropbox.
