Hm... 🤔 alicera, let's change it little bit:
if wget -q --method=HEAD --max-redirect 0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcdefg/123?dl=0 ; then echo "This page does not exist." else echo "This page exists." fi
Is it working now? 😜

alicera, The questions you place here (including the last one) have their answers in other thread you asking for the same! Greg' proposal there is posted long before your last question. It's the same for all Dropbox supported SDKs (not just Python). There you can see too why/how my proposal works. 😉
