Import Email shared file by api.

Thanks for elaborating John! This is related to the issue I was referring to in my comment earlier in this thread on May 4.

To expand on that though, the links included in emails like this aren't intended for programmatic consumption, but to do so, you'd need to make a normal HTPT GET request to it first to get the supported version. The response should be a redirect with a "Location" header containing the redirected address. 

Also, note that there are different kinds of sharing in Dropbox, as well as different access controls, so I can't guarantee this will always work. For example, the sample link you included is intended for a specific recipient, so that access control will prevent you from doing exactly what you want via the API unfortunately.
