How to create Dropbox Image URL for hosting purposes.
Hi, basically I am trying to mass upload product images to various marketplace platforms. So, I'd like to know the right way on how to generate the link to those particular images so that the marketplace server can grab images directly from dropbox.
I have tried the "share" and "copy url" way but it doesn't work. Please help!

For the hosting of an image, the information above is incomplete.
A share link to a file will open in the Dropbox preview page. Using those links in an <img> tag will result in broken imaged. You need to change the ?dl=0 at the end of the link to ?raw=1. Just know that some platforms will still reject such links because they're expecting a URL that ends in a valid image extension (jpg, gif, png, etc.).
Hi, Thank you for your reply.
How about if I right click on the image and use the "copy image address" function where it would generate link such as below;Would this work?
Thank you in advance
