Dropbox File shared links bulk export

Thanks a lot, it's worth a shot, and fingers crossed this feature will not be taken out completely.

Alex T,
Don't know if it still works, but try this link:-

https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder 

When I visit it I do at least get a "You already have a Public folder." message, and it takes me to the public folder in my account, which would suggest it still works.

That's the link he'll need, but it only works for Pro and Business accounts. Basic accounts cannot enable the Public folder if they don't already have one.

Thanks guys, yes it works fine, just need to upgrade to pro to enable it. I assume the folder will continue to work if i downgrade but I'm gonna wait a month till I finish this job just to be sure.

Aaah. Sorry for adding confusion.

I've been looking for this with folders (not individual images, although it works with that), and THERE IS AN EASIER WAY!!

Zapier is an if this than that type automation program.

Make a zap and connect your dropbox account and excel

Step 1: Dropbox trigger: Either trigger for when a directory is created or a file is created. 

---> there are multiple ways to handle the rest, I have a specific need to distribute to others so I did it like this:

Step 2: Find Row: In the linked excel document, we wanted all folders to be named/distributed by e-mail address so all our folders were named by their e-mail address and we found that row

Step 3: Update Row: One of the fields you can populate to excel is Dropbox link... I had a column that I named "Dropbox link" and populated it there.

Hope this helped!

I don't want to mess around with the API so I just scrape the links using R

1. Put your files in a folder.
2. Get the share link for the folder.
3. Copy link.
4. Log out of dropbox.
5. Go to link.
6. Scroll alllll the way to the bottom.
7. Save page as.
8. Then you can scrape.

Example script.  

library(rvest)
urls <- read_html("path/to/saved/page") %>% html_nodes("a") %>% html_attr("href")
cat(urls[grepl("https://www.dropbox.com/sh",urls, fixed = TRUE)], sep = "\n")

I would like to make an bulk export (in .csv) with all the urls of the files in a specific folder. Would that be possible?
