Re: Get / Make Public and Temporary link for files

Hi Jay​ 

I am using the create_shared_link_with_settings API to get the link. After receiving the link, I make substitutions in the URL as indicated in the screenshot. It is quite a working option to get a direct link, without a redirect.

Is this option acceptable for Dropbox?
