Dropbox Automation: Get Public Link for a dropped file

[rudi]

Hi.

Anyone out there, who figured out already, how to get the "Copy Public Link" for a file placed in the "public" folder of a DropBox?

The rest of the story is not that hard: Automatically scan a folder for new files. 7zip pack & encrpyt it. move that one to the dropbox. Place a <origin-filename>.txt in an output folder giving two informations: 1.) the public link, 2.) the random password used for the encryption. Later on delete all files older than xy days.

I do not know how to solve how to retrieve the result of "copy public link".

Any suggestions appreciated,

regards, Rudi.

Hi rudi,

seems you only need to know your UID

Later on delete all files older than xy days.

Though there are more out there, I found helpful for deleting files older than x days for when you get to this part of your script.
