How to upload image to DropBox and Get Downloadable link?
I am currently using DropBox api v2 android sdk, for uploading images to Dropbox, But I need to get the downloadable link of that image, as I need to load those images multiple times and using the direct download method again and again isn't practical and memory efficient. Also at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Java-Get-Download-Link-File-as-stream/m... , though the question is quite similar but on checking the method a, It states that
getTemporaryLink()
automatically expires the url within 4 hour. So i need a permanent downloadable link,
by using the downloadable link, I can pass it directly to picasso for loading the images fast.
Any help is highlt appreciated.
If you need a link that doesn't expire by default, you can use sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings instead, and modify the resulting link as documented here. Note that those links do get listed in the user's links list though.
