Key Command/Shortcut to "Copy Dropbox Link" from Mac Finder.
I copy download links all day from the Mac Finder. It would be great to assign a key command so that you can highlight a file in your Dropbox via Mac Finder, and press a key command to copy the link ...
Update (2023-01-17)
I've moved the script to a repository and expanded on the instructions.
I wanted this now, so I wrote a Python script to get the URL from the command line and created an Automator QuickAction that calls the script with the selected file(s) in Finder:
Now, ^⌘L copies the Dropbox URL of any number of files selected in the Dropbox folder.

This doesn't really sense to me... I downloaded the script... no idea what to do with it... I tried to do the whole automation thing, but also don't know what to do with that... so just got dead-end and dead-end and dead-end... Surely by now DropBox would have done something around this... I use Copy Dropbox link anywhere from 10–100 times per day... honestly getting tired of right clicking (on a track pad) 10–100 times per day 😓

Sorry it's not working for you. Happy to try to answer specific questions, but there isn't enough information here to say what's wrong. I've expanded on the instructions a bit in a new repository, have a look and see if that helps. Definitely agree that Dropbox should allow this feature out of the box, it's really annoying that we have to set up workarounds like this.
