Given an URL to any file online and Dropbox, can I save the file at the URL in Dropbox without downloading the file?

Please try to clarify your question. Are you trying to save a file that is already online in another cloud service? If so there is google drive. It may give you the option to save an attachment you received in google drive, usually for *.zip or documents.– JulioCommented Jan 29, 2014 at 7:16

I'm wondering why you would want that. You can always download the file from that link.– JulioCommented Jan 29, 2014 at 7:25

Any of these services can do it:
- ctrlq.org/save (Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box)
- UploadtoDropbox.com (up to 64mb files for free)
- URL Droplet (up 30mb files for free)
- sideCLOUDload (up to 25mb files for free) (Dropbox, Email)
As well as the Cloud Save Google Chrome Extension Al E. mentioned in the comments.

UploadtoDropbox seems to solve a different problem; it lets other people upload files to your Dropbox, but not from an URL.– lxgrCommented Jul 4, 2014 at 9:38
The best one and definitely without any Limits is Ctrlq
it can even move a file size up to 1Gig (or more) to your cloud storage. but onedrive doesn't support that, you can use google drive as the save location. and this is kinda useful. for example to keep a backup of your website somewhere other than your hosting account in case of failure.

If you are affiliated with the company, please disclose that in your answer. The first part of this reads like an advertisement.– jonscaCommented Oct 8, 2014 at 8:10

i just often use it for my needs and i found it very useful comparing to other paid limited services and suggesting you to use it.– user78398Commented Oct 8, 2014 at 10:44
You can do that using AutoFileMove WebURL feature, You can use any file URL and transfer to dropbox, ftp or amazon s3
