    It looks like the following works

     

    https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/{{doc_id}}


    I thought I tried that earlier but must have mistyped something. Apologies for the unnecessary ask.

While this works, note that it isn't officially documented with the API, so it may change and stop working in the future. I'll send this along as a feature request for an officially supported way to retrieve the URL via the API.
