Hi leveeroadstudio, could you clarify how you copied the image links in bulk? Was this from the Dropbox site when logged into your account, or via a shared link?

Jay First, I copy a folder's shared link. Then, I would paste the link into an incognito (logged out) browser, and all of the images within the file were shown, hyperlinked to their individual share links. From there, I could highlight all of the images, copy, and paste right into my spreadsheet.

 

The new preview layout seems to have cloaked the individual share links. So, now I think it's time for Dropbox to add a feature that allows users to copy multiple links without jumping through all of these hoops.

 

Google Drive has this feature. Photobucket even has this feature. Dropbox, being a leader in the cloud storage space, SHOULD have this feature!!

    We're always looking for ways to make Dropbox better and more efficient, so I'll pass this on to the team.
