Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am using srmklive/flysystem-dropbox-v2 package with a Laravel 5.3 installation. My files are getting stored in dropbox however I'm not able to retrieve the shareable link of these dropbox files. Also, I want that the link should be visible to guest users too. Does anyone know how to go about this?

The getTemporaryLink method in the srmklive/flysystem-dropbox-v2 library corresponds to the /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint on Dropbox API v2.
If you want a shareable link instead of a temporary link, you should instead use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. It looks like /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings is unfortunately not implemented in srmklive/flysystem-dropbox-v2's DropboxClient.php though.

Thanks for the info Greg.
Do the following packages extend the functionality that I'm looking for?
1. https://github.com/spatie/dropbox-api
2. https://github.com/spatie/flysystem-dropbox
If not, can you please suggest any alternative package that is compatible with Laravel 5.3 ?
The spatie/flysystem-dropbox library doesn't seem to have it:
The spatie/dropbox-api library does seem to:
https://github.com/spatie/dropbox-api/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=create_shared_link_with_settings&type=
In there, it seems to be the createSharedLinkWithSettings method:
I don't know of any other Laravel libraries off hand though.
Thanks Greg! My problem was solved by using both the packages together i.e.
https://github.com/spatie/flysystem-dropbox & https://github.com/spatie/dropbox-api
For anyone else who has similar requirements, the above 2 packages are supported for PHP 7, however for PHP 5 you'll have to use https://github.com/srmklive/flysystem-dropbox-v2
