Dropbox File shared links bulk export
I have a folder which contains over 400 images, is there any tool to copy all these images' Dropbox links in Excel one time instead of one by one?
I suggest you enable your PUBLIC folder, then load the files into a subfolder say \dropbox\public\images\example.jpg
Once done you can get your NEVER CHANGING public folder link for \dropbox\public ( looks something like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12345678 )
And simply append the subfolder and filenames to it https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12345678/images/example.jpg
.
Only thing to be careful of is if the subfolder or the filenames require web path conversions (spaces and od characters in the names etc)

Dave, this is clear, concise and exactly the information I was after. Thanks you, you are a gem!

Except that it's no longer valid.
The Public folder is a deprecated feature as of October 2012 and is in the middle of being phased out. Accounts created after October 2012 never received a Public folder and only Pro/Plus/Business accounts could create one. As of March of this year, any Basic account that still had an active Public folder has had it disabled and converted to a regular folder, and the same will happen to Plus and Business accounts in September of this year.
So while it may still work for you (if you have a Plus account that has a Public folder already), it won't continue to work beyond September of this year.
