Accessing document files in a DropBox folder using individual links in a Business Importer to QBO

Hi,

 

I am trying to add reference links (to document files in a Dropbox folder) to a spreadsheet of transactions to be uploaded to Quickbooks Online, using Business Importer.  I am trying to find a solution where the links can be generated (for automatic insertion into each spreadsheet). A copy and paste link would look like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uq6vvmx8cv50abc/CN006005261CA.pdf?dl=0.  The sequence in italics would seem to be a folder security code that is changed each time. It is impractical to copy and paste each file link into the spreadsheets. Is there any way to provide links (based on a formula) to multiple files in a Dropbox folder without having to copy and paste each document file link?

 

Thanks!

  • Hey JonathanAndrews, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

    I'm afraid there's no way to achieve this with Dropbox at this moment.Perhaps, there's a 3rd party app/service that could help achieve what you had in mind. 

    Let me know if you have any other questions, Jonathan!

    I am trying to add reference links to an excel sheet too. Did you ever find a solution to this?

    I really don't want to export each link individually.
