direct access img PHP

It is possible to access an img in dropbox direct using php, without using the download API method? Or it's only possible to see metadata?   //see metadata $folderMetadata = $dbxClient->getMeta...

The SDK you're using uses API v1 which is deprecated and being retired soon. You should migrate to API v2 instead.

 

We don't have plans for an official PHP SDK for Dropbox API v2, but you can use a third party library or, you can call the HTTPS endpoints themselves.

 

For example, to access file content, you can call /2/files/download, which will return the file content in the response. You can then do whatever you want with the returned file data, which doesn't have to be saving it to a file.

 

Or you can get a temporary link to the file content using /2/files/get_temporary_link.
