file sharing app

Thanks for the answer, I looked into it and it appears that it goes to something like... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/ ... and then a string that doesn't look anything like the short string in the original link.

I'm guessing this means it isn't going to work.

I'm exploring the possibility of using copy_ref, and send the copy_ref as a parameter to the app when it opens... then have it automate adding the file to the owners dropbox and then downloading the file. It's a little clunky if the person receiving the file hasn't already authorized Dropbox in the app, but it should work and that may be what I have to do.
