    If that's the case, then you'd need to create individual shared links to each file, and not use the shared folder link.

     

    Currently, there isn’t a way to generate shared links automatically or in bulk, though it might be possible using the Dropbox API.

Hi Emad Naimat, thanks for joining the Community!

 

Have you tried using the searchbar on the site, or the Dropbox desktop application to quickly locate the files?

 

Are the files also shared via a shared link to the folder, or just a shared folder?

 

Keep me posted!

      Generally, if there’s a shared link to a folder, you can extrapolate the shared links to the files by using the overall folder link, and then adding the file file to the end of the link itself.

       

      Try clicking one of the files there, so you can see the link, and then you can modify your search (or in the Google Sheet) to show the full URL for the file.
