Thanks for following up and sharing that. For reference, the URL parameters for shared links like that are documented here.
I understand, and I found out it's possible. I put this here as it might help someone else.
You can use copy link (set the permissions as you like) and use the URL inside pandas.read_csv or pandas.read_parquet to read the dataset.
However the copy link will have a 'dl' parameter equal to 0, you have to change it to 1 to make it work. Example:
# this does not work
df = pd.read_parquet('https://www.dropbox.com/s/somecode/part.0.parquet?dl=0')
# this works
df = pd.read_parquet('https://www.dropbox.com/s/somecode/part.0.parquet?dl=1')
Thank you again for helping out
