I have been sent a link to a file stored in a public dropbox folder. I have substituted "aaaa" and "12345" for the actual file name to conceal the actual file. If someone could provide the instruction or entry into my browser that would get me the most complete metadata info, this is what I am interested in getting. Further, If there is a legend for the link file that give some additional meaning to the elements of string (the individual characters between each of the "/"), that would also be helpful. I am not the file owner. When I type the link file into my browser I see the following metadata: filename, size and modified (7months ago). I am interested in viewing all publicly available data about this file. Are their third party products, like CURL, that will provide more complete information about the dropbox file or can you provide an instruction assuming that the filename is https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e2yh0l0ce37aaaa/12345?dl=0.
