If you have the dropbox link, in Safari, do command l and then paste it in and press enter. It should download automatically. If it's an mp3 or another uncompressed audio file though, it may start playing instead. There was a tip on how to change a dropbox link name to force media files to download rather than playing on list a while ago but I don't have it on hand I'm sorry.
The other solution is to install dropbox and if you plan on sharing files with this person, share a folder and then anything they or you put in that shared folder will be automatically shared with everyone else sharing the folder. If you decide to install dropbox, there are very good instructions easily found on google on how to install it properly with voiceover. I simply googled, "install dropbox +voiceover and it came up as the first or one of the first hits.
