I want to keep the folder structure in the link

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/49wmvfv4aktaopg/av120_alusport.pdf?dl=0 

--> this is the result when i make a link on the file av120.pdf

the folder structure is :

https://www.dropbox.com/home/Raf%20Gregoor/alusport%20-%20klantenportaal/ALUSPORT/Manuals%20Alusport/AV

can I use this as link and add av120_alusport.pdf if is av120 or another Pdf when the name is different. I want to keep the folder structure in place of the https://..... that is only for one file.

I hope you understand what i mean.

Hello,

I'm not quite sure what you mean. 

In order for a file to have it's own unique, shareable link, a user needs to create the link on that specific file. 

You can do that either through the Dropbox UI or the Dropbox API (more complicated) by using the /files/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint.
