Hi IanHuang,
Using such a way you always get some link back - even if you don't want.

There is no way to be nothing! It's another story if what you get is not what you want. You can receive temporary direct link - fetching that link will give you the file content directly. Other option is receiving shared link - by default preview link (i.e. you receive HTML). Like for any other shared link you can transform it to be used for download (dl=0 to dl=1) - keep in mind redirection support needed. Take a look here for an example. 😉
Hope this clarifies matter.

Hi IanHuang,
While implementing the Dropbox Chooser, you can configure the linkType parameter as “direct” which will provide an expiring link to download the contents of the file.
Would you be able to provide further information about fetching the URL that returns nothing? If you are having difficulty with the Dropbox Chooser, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s).

thanks a lot, after talking with the user, it seems that this happens because the document is corrupted, the other file works fine.
