remove all shared links
Hi, I have many links in the links-list. Way to many. I take it that the files linked are accessible for anyone with the link. I want all these links removed with one command. It is too many to do it...

Please be careful as it will delete all your shared links! You have been warned! Works in Chrome (61.0.3163.100) maybe firefox and internet explorer but no links to test =) Open the browser's console window (right click anywhere and select inspect or control+shift+i) while in the shared links page. Paste the following code in the console command line, click enter and it will delete all shared links.
Due to secure http loading jquery (as suggested by other post) does not work, so this option is fine with vanilla javascript. The script below simulates consecutive mouse clicks: 1. click the three dot button next to the link, 2. click the delete link button in the drop down, 3. click the delete link buttin in the pop up dialog box. Note that it will take a minute to execute all those but in the end the list shall be clear. Hope it save you some trouble... and again be careful
for( var index = 0; index < 1000; index++ )
{
var dots = document.getElementById("bubbleDropdownTarget-" + index );
if( dots == undefined ) continue;
dots.click( );
document.getElementsByClassName( "bubble-menu-item" )[0].click( );
document.getElementsByClassName( "button-primary dbmodal-button" )[0].click( );
}

There is a way to save screenshots to dropbox without creating the shared link by default, by using a built in feature of OS X and the terminal.
Open a terminal and issue these two commands:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Dropbox/Screenshots
killall SystemUIServer
