    Hi jimbob1977,

    If you run Linux, the best place of your question isn't API section. You can get link to arbitrary file in the Dropbox folder using CLI. Take a look on "sharelink" command. :wink:

    Unfortunately, CLI is available only on Linux, so if you run something else, this advice isn't for you (or at least, if you don't plane switch to Linux).

    Hope this helps to some extent.
