Hey ambern1023, thanks for dropping by our Community!

 

I'm afraid there's no way to export shared links for files in bulk at this time. You'll need to navigate to each file separately and create a shared link with view rights for each of the files/entries in your spreadsheet. 

 

That said, you might find something helpful offered by Zapier and its Dropbox automations. 

 

I hope this helps a tad!

    can i just copy the drop box link that is next to the 3 ... without actually sharing each file indvidually then selecting that link? (also what if i made the folder be an open folder for anyone to access? can i then just use the dropbox link? without physically clicking share, wait for the link then select it etc)

      When you say next to the 3, what do you mean exactly ambern1023?

       

      Could you maybe provide some screenshots so that we can have a visual too?

       

      If you shared the folder directly with them , then they'd be able to access the folder and the files stored in it, but shared links would need still to be created for the entries in your spreadsheet (for them to get taken directly to the files your shared links point to that is).
