Edit: I thought the problem was the ?dl=1 at the end of the link, but no, I can still download from my Glo if there is "?dl=1" at the end.

The problem seems to be the download button itself. If I download by tapping on the file listing in dropbox, or from a shared link, then there is no problem. It is only if I tap the download button that appears when I use the "share link" function in dropbox that it fails to work.
