Get link for a file?
I'd like to get the public dropbox link for a local file.
E.g.: https://www.dropbox.com/s/<some id>/v16.90.0310_beta.zip?dl=0
is the public dropbox link for the local file:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Dropbox\XY_Updates\v16.90.0310_beta.zip
Is there a way to get this one with an API (preferred: Python) call? Unfortunately the Windows Version doesn't have a CLI interface (like the linux version) which would make the whole thing pretty easy...

Yes, the Dropbox API does offer the ability to get shared links for files. If you use the Python SDK, you can use the sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings method.
Or, if you prefer to use the HTTP endpoints themselves, that's /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings.
Thank you, Gregory!
That's enough to write a small script that does what I need :)
