Obtain Shared link URLs for multiple files / Export to CSV

Obtain Shared link URLs for multiple files / Export to CSV

Geoff L.6

Like MANY others, we have a requirement to upload multiple new products or product updates to a website via CSV file. 

That upload must include all of the product information ... specifically including the location (URL) of image files to be uploaded.

The website could be any of our three business sites;  it could be Amazon; it could be eBay.  Or it could be a matter of enabling our Clients to download via spreadsheet listing the individual image files relevant to their particular business.

In any case - whilst I can currently cut-n-paste individual URLs for files in a DropBox folder into a spreadsheet, I have to do so ONE AT A TIME.

(And I definitely like the fact that DropBox enables me to password protect the download facility ... and/or place a time limit expiry on the facility)

What I can't do is select one, two, many or all files in a folder and obtain a bulk listing of URLs to be copied into my spreadsheet.

(And - NO! - the URL for the overall Folder is NOT an viable alternative)

PhotoBucket has a very nice facility for this particular capabillity.  (And is the only reason I have to ever consider using PB).

(And - NO - this isn't about enabling websites to embed links on those sites so that the images are constantly served from DropBox)

Please make it possible to share a link for multiple selected files, not just folders & single files...I really miss this feature from Microsoft OneDrive. I don't want to create a folder everytime I need to share a link for multiple files, and "Send with Transfer" really isn't a good alternative.

Hello,

Checkout the new version of Image Link Generator (Which is now ilinks.io ).

This web application will definitely resolve your issue of making bulk image links. iLInks is capable of creating thousands of image links in a single go.

Checkout this video for more understanding 

Share this amazing application so that we can save time on creating image links one by one for us and everyone related to it.

Thanks
