To get a temporary link to a file on Dropbox using the official Dropbox API v2 Python SDK, you should use the 'files_get_temporary_link' method.

 

The 'path' there should be the path to the file on Dropbox. You can supply that directly, or get it from Metadata.path_lower (e.g., as returned by 'files_upload', etc.).
