Create many Dropbox-links automatically

[giordano5]

I have about 100 pdf-Files on dropbox which I want to be downloaded by 100 person. The person will get a mail with a link (dropbox-link) to download his personalized file directly. The issues were the following:

How can I create automatically for each file the dropbox-link?

For example, this link I produced using the mouse and right click:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmsdf09uj203msd9sd/Giordano_Bruno_001.jpg?dl=0

But I don't want to do this for each of the other 99 files. I could create with a script the names  ...Giordano_Bruno_002 ..., ... 003 .... etc. And also change dl=0 to dl=1 to download directly, but the problem is that the part "kmsdf09uj203msd9sd" is given by dropbox indivually/randomly.

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Hey there @giordano5. 

Although you can share the folder that the files are residing in with a shared link, currently, there isn’t a way to automatically mass-create separate shared links for individual files simultaneously. 

If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to get back to me!

Photographer question: I have a project coming up that will result in 1000+ folders that need individual links sent via mail merge. I am hoping there is a way that I can automate the creation of all those links - any help/advice would be appreciated

If you have any programming experience you may be able to use the Dropbox API to generate the links. Otherwise, links need to be created individually.

Hey @Basmayer, at the moment there's no way to automatically mass-create individual links to individual folders.

Let me know if you have any questions.
