    If you’re trying to create a separate shared link for each image and mass upload them in one go, this isn’t currently an option. 
     
    Instead, you could create a shared link to the folder that has these images with the following steps:
    1. Sign in to the website.
    2. Hover over the folder you'd like to share.
    3. Click the Share button that should appear on the right-hand side of the folder.
    4. On the pop-up window, select Create a link.
    5. Click on Copy link. The link will be copied to your clipboard. 
    6. You can then paste it to an email, message, and so on, for people to access it and view the contents.
    Let me know if you have any other questions!

That link works fine.

If the link isn't working on whatever platform you're trying to use it on, they they likely don't support URLs that don't end in a proper image extention. In such cases you won't be able to use Dropbox to host the image.
