How to get the file path from a preview link?
How can I get the proper Dropbox file path from a preview link obtained from the Dropbox Chooser? It is obviously unreliable to search for any file that matches the file name...

Actually, apologies, this doesn't get returned directly by the Chooser, but this is possible to get now depending on the link type setting you're using with the Chooser. That is, if you use the "preview" link type, you can then pass the link to /metadata/link to get the metadata, including path:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#metadata-link
Note, that this call needs to be made using the correct user's auth in order to return the path information.
