You can get a shared link to documents via https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share, however if its to a bank you may want to ask and speak to them about what format they'll accept - many wont take links via File sharing sites for example

    I understood,
    my goal is to have a link that can view the image, this link will serve to attach image to a whatsapp message

      In that case, note that by default, shared links point to a HTML preview page for the file, but if you need direct file data access, you can modify the links as shown here.

        this is exactly what i need, a link to an html with the image, however, it's not working for me, i already had a good look at the documentation, but for some reason, the shared link doesn't work
