Hey ElsayedGamal, while the link is temporarily copied in your clipboard &amp; you could paste it across platforms (though your IDE might be an exception), I’m interested in what you have in mind as an ideal end-result. Would you like to incorporate that within your code somehow? If you could elaborate a bit on what you’d like to achieve, I’ll do my best to check back on our resources &amp; see if there’s a way to get going on that. Thanks in advance!&nbsp;

You'll need to use the Dropbox API for that.
