Dropbox is not intended as a content host for website. The url you generated via /files/get_temporary_link will for the file to download locally. It cannot be used to embed content within an HTML tag. Also, the links generated by /files/get_temporary_link are only functional for four hours, after which they will expire.
Please , recommended way to upload file(Image...) to cloud and fetch data to display on websit.

The workflow you are describing, to upload a file to Dropbox and then embed it in a webpage, is not a workflow that is supported by our API. If you wish to upload file, you can use our /files/upload API, but we do not offer an endpoint or way to embed content directly in webpages.
