Somebody doesn't have to be a Dropbox user in order for you to send them an email with a link to download a large attachment. All you have to do is save the file in your Dropbox, then right click on it and select the option to "Copy Dropbox Link". I usually add one additional step because by default if you send somebody the link as it is the file opens instead of downloading so if you send them, for example, a video file it would start playing. If you were to paste the link into Notepad you would find that there is always a 0 at the end of it and if you delete that 0 and replace it with a 1, then copy the link again and paste it into an email the file would actually automatically download to the downloads folder of whoever you send the email to. Of course they still have to open the email and click on the link.

I'm trying to send a 135 MB attachment to someone with an android phone. They don't do Drop box or any other sharing service. If I use mail drop and it's in iCloud, can they view the video? I thought a link was emailed to me that I could send. Is this how mail drop works or do I have it all wrong?
