Long press the file name & download. Then install from db folder on device.

Install a file manager (i.e. Astro).

As Ziggster suggested, long press the apk file from within dropbox to download. Go to your file manager and find the "Dropbox" folder. (Should be /mnt/sdcard/dropbox). You should see the downloaded .apk file there and be able to install it.

You can also long press and select Open. I installed the facebook app this way only because I couldn't get an invite to Google+:'(

With each of those methods I still the "problem parsing the package.". Thanks for the help. This time with my Tab is my first Android experience, so I'm learning all of the ins and outs.
