2. Copy as Pathname

Dropbox StaffThanks for the info. Currently what you're asking for wouldn't be possible via any command line script, with the normal desktop app.
However, if you use the Dropbox API with a custom app or service, you could create shared links from there using this information.
OK, is it possible to get the dropbox link to the file selected in th finder with no right click menu? Shortcuts, Apple Scipt or Automator maybe?
Is there key command to this right click item?

While we can't really comment on those 3rd party apps and their features, you might be better off if you reached out to them directly and ask if this would be somehow possible RHimadiiev
Let us know if you have anything else you'd like to ask in the meantime.Why not implement the key command for this function?

You can request a feature change via this forum area, but, its something that has been asked for a few times (rarely if I'm honest) and not implemented.

The only supported methods are through the right-click menu, using the Dropbox API, or using the sharing options on the Dropbox website.
