Create Shared link on upload

Hi is it possible to upload a file and create a shared link for the same using only one API call. The options available out there needs to make atleast two calls to get a shared link. Doing this would result in reduction of response time for my app.

    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to upload a file and get a shared link for the file in the same call, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
