There are two ways you can approach this:

With the official Dropbox Python SDK, use the method sharing_get_shared_link_file to download the file content from a shared link. Or without the SDK, make the same call to /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file API endpoint itself directly.
Without using the API/SDK, modify the shared link URL for raw access as documented here, and issue a GET request with your HTTPS client of choice to download the file content directly.

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your answer it solved my issue. One more thing can I upload a zip file programmatically to the shared link provided by another user or else I can only download the files from a shared link?

Thanks

Shared links only provide view/download access. You can't upload to them.
