"So, just to clarify, you can create multiple shared links, and have different passwords for each link on your Dropbox account." This is what I am trying to accomplish.

"Are you instead looking to create multiple shared links in bulk without having to create them manually?" If this is possible, that would be good. If not, I am fine creating them individually. 

"or to have different passwords for a single shared link?" No.

"Regarding the account log, currently, there isn't a feature using shared links that will allow you to track when it was opened." I think that I read that this feature is available under a business plan. Nonetheless, it isn't that important to me.

Hi unsophisticated-sophisticate,

"Regarding the account log, currently, there isn't a feature using shared links that will allow you to track when it was opened." I think that I read that this feature is available under a business plan. Nonetheless, it isn't that important to me. ----- You actually can, with the Dropbox Professional via the Dropbox Transfer feature as was mentioned by Jay . You can refer on this link for more information on how you can manage your transfer views and downloads :

Hope this helps, 

 

:)

    Based on our discussion here, it appears Dropbox is not the tool I heard it is. Fortunately, my account is in a "trial" period, so I can cancel it without financial impact.
