How to generate a one-time use link for downloads?

Hi Taraobservatory 

Simply put you cannot - Dropbox doesnt have such a feature. It isnt intended or designed as a sales or content distribution tool and program. 

 

You would be much better off finding and using a tool designed to do this instead of trying to shoehorn Dropbox into doing it.

Thank you for the straight answer. I believe made a mistake in purchasing dropbox for this purpose.
