Can I share my Plus space with someone else?
I currently have Dropbox Plus which has plenty of space left. My girlfriend only has the basic plan. Is it possible to connect my girlfriend’s phone to my account so we can share storage?

Serve website images from Dropbox by retrieving its image URL with APIYou don't need the API to do this. Just get a share link to the image like you would for any other file type, and then change the end of the URL as explained in this help article (change ?dl=0 to ?raw=1).
Again, as Jay explained, share links have a limited amount of bandwidth per day, and if you're linking to large files it could be very easy to exceed that limit and have ALL of your links banned temporarily. Simply put, while you can serve files out of Dropbox, it is not a CDN and you probably shouldn't use it as one. A CDN is usually a network of servers in different geographical locations so that content is served to the user using the closest source. With Dropbox, the data will all come from the same source (i.e., NOT a true CDN).

While technically possible by signing in with your account, it's actually against the terms to share an account and could result in the account being deleted. Individual accounts are intended for a single person and should not be shared.
