Hello all. The way to force a download is to type in ?dl=1 after the file
you want to download.

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.
