    Hi kvega, thanks for contacting us today.

     

    Could you clarify what you mean by a live link? 

     

    Do you mean a direct link from the Dropbox site to open a file in the PPT app on your computer?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Thanks for the info. Currently, this feature wouldn't be available on the Dropbox site.

     

    We do have the Open button, which allows you to directly open the file on your local copy of PowerPoint, however, this is specific to a file, and isn't a general link that everyone can access.
