With the web platforms we'll list, you'll be able to upload files to any folder in your Dropbox account via a URL. This way, you can upload the file without having it hosted on your device. The method is perfect for places with poor internet connections or for devices lacking substantial storage space. Some of the web pages we'll show you also support this method on Google Drive and OneDrive.
Save Web File
With Save Web File you'll be able to easily upload files from a URL to Dropbox. The environment supports batch uploading of URLs without requiring registration on its site. Simply, you'll have to paste the addresses into the dialog box, then log in to Dropbox in the same browser and click on the "Save to Dropbox" button. There a popup window will open, where you'll have to specify the upload directory.
URL2Drop
We continue with URL2Drop, an open source tool that lets you upload files via a URL (you can upload up to 100) to your Dropbox account. The uploading of links is done in its dialog box. As it is an open source platform, you'll be able to upload its source to your server (DigitalOcean) to perform the file upload.
URL Dropit
URL Dropit is another open source platform for uploading files to Dropbox via a URL. Unlike the other options, the tool only supports uploading one link at a time without needing to register on its system. But the advantage of the environment is the possibility of hosting it on your computer via JavaScript development, to run it locally.
URL to Dropbox
URL to Dropbox is a web page that only supports uploading one file via URL to your Dropbox account. It's very simple, enter the URL of the file you want to upload, then specify the folder in your Dropbox account and the platform will perform the upload in a few seconds. Without a doubt it's the platform with the fastest upload.
Uploading files via URLs to your Dropbox account is not a utopia, it's a reality, thanks to the four free web pages we've listed.
