Is it possible to get the share link for a file which has been uploaded to dropbox?

You can use the Dropbox API to get a shared link for a file you've uploaded. It isn't included with the file metadata itself, so you just need to make an additional API call.

For example, with Dropbox API v2, you can use the /files/upload endpoint to upload a file:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

In the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, that corresponds to the upload method:

Then, you would use the /sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint, e.g., via the createSharedLinkWithSettings method, to get a shared link for the file:
