However, it can be annoying if you want to Dropbox a certain file on the web, but you have to download it to your computer before you can do that.

How it works:

Install the extension. A new icon will appear alongside other extension icons to the right of address bar.

Click the icon. It’ll take you to the Dropbox page asking for your permission to allow access to the extension.

When done, open a new page with downloadable content, for example https://developer.apple.com/videos/ right click the video, and select ‘Upload to Dropbox’ from the menu.

Click the icon again to see the download progress. Cancel the download if you want.
