    First statement: "opens in browser" means when I'm on my Mac it does open preview as expected.

    Tap the down arrow next to a file, then tap Share, then Create a link.

    Rich, I'm after an API.
    I'm talking about files in public folder. Not of my user. Of somebody else.

    Hi Alexander, unfortunately, Dropbox doesn't currently an API for linking to previews in the mobile apps for items in folder shared links like this. I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request though.
