Key Command/Shortcut to "Copy Dropbox Link" from Mac Finder.
I copy download links all day from the Mac Finder. It would be great to assign a key command so that you can highlight a file in your Dropbox via Mac Finder, and press a key command to copy the link ...
Update (2023-01-17)
I've moved the script to a repository and expanded on the instructions.
I wanted this now, so I wrote a Python script to get the URL from the command line and created an Automator QuickAction that calls the script with the selected file(s) in Finder:
Now, ^⌘L copies the Dropbox URL of any number of files selected in the Dropbox folder.

Yes, and it's the initial idea, of course. The deprecated method (on behalf corresponding access point) makes on dummy upload for you. On the same place you can see the method deprecation, explicitly pointed out. The official documentation is automatically generated and that's why some of the details may miss. How long particular things can stay deprecated... good question, but rarely defined; here undefined yet at least. Probably defined on how many particular access point is still in use and usually least a year.

As for the "new links" concept, I'd appreciate a pointer to some documentation on what this means. I don't know what change you're referring to, since I'm far from a Dropbox expert.
You can see some more info on the thread here. As always documentation lags in time. 🤷
I can no longer see the new post I created with more information and asking for insight from (hopefully) Dropbox staff about sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings. The topic doesn't appear in the forum where I posted it, and clicking the title in my profile just sends me here. Do you know why this might be happening Здравко ?

Seems the 2 threads joined by Dropbox staff. They have found them too similar, probably.
