How to download files from Dropbox and Google Drive using IDM?

First of all let me tell you that the title of this article should be "How to download files from Dropbox  and Google Drive using IDM or any other download manager?"

Ever wondered if you could download gigantic files with pause and resume support with your favorite download manager. Generally, download managers can't do that because they have not cookies, unlike browsers.

But as you know, there's always a way.

Downloading drom Dropbox:

1. Mark the address bar.



2.Copy the URL to the clipboard.


3. Add the URL to your download manager (Here I'm using Tonec IDM). You should seethe link starting with "https://www..."


4. Replace that with "dl", viz. your link

"https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0"
will be now 
"dl..dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0"




5. Finally start the download and now you can see, it can be downloaded by your fully featured download manager.

Downloading from Google Drive:

*Firefox add-on used. So, make sure you're not using any other browser for this.

1.  Install FlashGot Mass Downloader add-on for firefox (Giorgio Maone). You can get it from here. You need to restart Firefox to apply changes.

2. Now click on Download anyway as you used to do.


3. Now, you'll be shown a window where you have to opt FlashGot and select Internet Download Manger (or yours counterpart) form the drop down list beside it. Then press OK. (Here OK seems to be disabled as the window was inactive while I was taking a snip)


4. Now it will turn aside the download link to the download manager. Initiate the download with it and voila!! You can see, now it's downloading.

So, that's how we do it.

Now you can whisper to Alexa

Amazon’s Alexa can now listen and respond to whispers, and she will whisper back. Now first, this might set off another wave of anxiety for privacy advocates. Your virtual assistant is not only spying on you and potentially recording or storing your conversations, now she can do even if you tried to keep your voice down. Amazon’s team just made that sensitive microphone function even more acutely. Video demonstrating Alexa whisper: So, why do we need to whisper in the first place? Will it come handy in anyway? Yes. If you whisper, “Echo, play a lullaby,” for the infant who’s almost asleep in your arms, Echo will whisper back, “Here’s a station for lullabies from your Amazon Music library,” instead of screaming at  full startling volume. What's more? Whisper is not the only important feature that will come to Amazon Echo devices this year, we also have bunch of new ones. Guard : Guard will let you say, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and the device will automatically acti...

Microsoft Edge Arrived for Android and iOS

Last week, Microsoft made a pretty surprising announcement. The company revealed that it would bring its Edge browser to iOS and Android, making it easier for existing Edge users (and possible converts) to take their browsing history, bookmarks, and other data with them. Now the beta app is available for download from the Play Store for some countries. But others can download the APK to give it a try. So how is the browser itself? Well, it feels like a mix of desktop Edge and mobile Chrome. The start page has your frequently-visited pages with a search bar, along with stories from MSN below that (which you can turn off). The UI is split into an address bar and Reading List/History/Bookmarks button at the top, and everything else at the bottom. Both bars pull away as you scroll down the page, and re-appear when you swipe up. Familiar Microsoft Edge features like the Hub allow users to organize the web in a way that cuts through the clutter, making it easier to find, view and manage thei...
