    <title>topic Re: Public link for files in dropbox in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Public-link-for-files-in-dropbox/m-p/85712#M2619</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;To clarify a bit, "public links" refers to an older method of sharing that only applies to items in the Public folder:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/16" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/16&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;"Shared links" refers to a new method of sharing that can be applied to any item, regardless of location in the Dropbox account:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/167" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/167&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;On the API side of things, if you want to just access file content directly in your app, you should use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-GET" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;/files (GET)&lt;/A&gt;, which corresponds to the &lt;CODE&gt;loadFile&lt;/CODE&gt; method in the iOS Core SDK.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;If that doesn't work for you though, you can use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#media" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;/media&lt;/A&gt;, which returns a temporary direct link to the file content. This corresponds to the &lt;CODE&gt;loadStreamableURLForFile&lt;/CODE&gt; method in the iOS Core SDK.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Finally, if you want a shareable link, which doesn't expire (but can be revoked by the user), you can use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shares" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;/shares&lt;/A&gt;, which is accessible via the &lt;CODE&gt;loadSharableLinkForFile&lt;/CODE&gt; method in the iOS Core SDK. Also, shareable links can be modified for different behaviors as noted here:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/201" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/201&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The API doesn't offer a way to request Public links though, but in most cases one of the above methods should be suitable. (Not all accounts have Public folders anyway.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How do I get the public link of each file in dropbox? Is there a formula to create a public link for the files? &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.dropbox.com/help/167" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;www.dropbox.com/help/167&lt;/A&gt; and no, they are all random. &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Some background - &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I'm a developer and I want the direct download link of the file on dropbox. The Core API had a /media endpoint however, I'm using iOS Core APIs. Any idea how I should proceed? &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Oh. Thanks a lot Greg. I did see loadStreamableURLForFile, however I imagined that it was for streaming video or other media content, and definitely not for images. Thanks for the help! &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@FBF7D2AB59A0D6E861EBF6A36F93B7E2/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Going further, is there a plan for releasing the documentation of iOS Core APIs other than the tutorial? &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/ios" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/ios&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I know it might not be very much required, but still helps a little. Thanks! &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I don't know if there are plans for full documentation for the iOS Core SDK (as opposed to just what's in the header file now) but I'll send this along as a request.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
