Create many Dropbox-links automatically
I have about 100 pdf-Files on dropbox which I want to be downloaded by 100 person. The person will get a mail with a link (dropbox-link) to download his personalized file directly. The issues were the following:
How can I create automatically for each file the dropbox-link?
For example, this link I produced using the mouse and right click:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmsdf09uj203msd9sd/Giordano_Bruno_001.jpg?dl=0
But I don't want to do this for each of the other 99 files. I could create with a script the names ...Giordano_Bruno_002 ..., ... 003 .... etc. And also change dl=0 to dl=1 to download directly, but the problem is that the part "kmsdf09uj203msd9sd" is given by dropbox indivually/randomly.
Is there a way to solve this issue?

- Photographer question: I have a project coming up that will result in 1000+ folders that need individual links sent via mail merge. I am hoping there is a way that I can automate the creation of all those links - any help/advice would be appreciated
