Give file public access after upload through shell script
I've used the following code for uploading a file through a shell script in Automator on macOS:
DROPBOX_TOKEN="MY-TOKEN"
FILE=$1
FILENAME=$(basename "$FILE")
UPLOAD=`curl -sX POST https:/...
Turns out that I was a bit ignorant when looking at what to put in the request. The right request should look like this:
UPLOAD=`curl -sX POST https://api.dropbox.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $DROPBOX_TOKEN" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"path\": \"/psds/$FILENAME\",\"settings\": {\"audience\": \"public\",\"access\": \"viewer\",\"requested_visibility\": \"public\",\"allow_download\": true}}"`

Dropbox StaffThe /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint is the right way to create a shared link for a file, e.g., for public access. Can you print out the response body you get from that call? It should contain either the result, with the created shared link, or an error indicating why the call failed.
