Download / Export List of Links

Does anyone know if it is possible to Download or Export a list of Links to images in a folder?

I need to create a spreadsheet with links to each image (approx. 550) and would like to know if there is a better way than copying each link one at a time.  Thanks!

    Hey LisaSagal, welcome to our Community! 

    At the moment, Dropbox doesn't offer a way for you to copy multiple links at once. 

    You'd need to do it one link at a time. 

    I hope this helps to clarify things.

    This worked for me too (pending Dropbox coming up with a better solution).

    Just to add to the instructions:

    1. it may be helpful to turn off image downloads from the browser first, otherwise the thumbnails also copy into Excel.

    2. wait for the whole folder to load in the browser before copying (otherwise the "loading" label is copied rather than the files).

    Looking forward to not having to do this!

    Hey there,

    Step 4 is stumping me. I don't see how to drag and select all images in the dropbox folder. Dragging and selecting all (as you have pictured) then Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V in the spreadsheet copies the images over, not the links. Any ideas?

    Assuming it still works (and I haven't tested), make sure you're doing this on the Dropbox website and not within the folder on your computer.
