Dropbox File shared links bulk export
I have a folder which contains over 400 images, is there any tool to copy all these images' Dropbox links in Excel one time instead of one by one?

I suggest you enable your PUBLIC folder, then load the files into a subfolder say \dropbox\public\images\example.jpg
Once done you can get your NEVER CHANGING public folder link for \dropbox\public ( looks something like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12345678 )
And simply append the subfolder and filenames to it https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12345678/images/example.jpg
.
Only thing to be careful of is if the subfolder or the filenames require web path conversions (spaces and od characters in the names etc)

Dave, you're a star. I thought I was going to have to manually retrieve heaps of public links. In case anyone else comes across this, here's the solution I employed to get a large text list of public links:-
- ^ What Dave said. ^
- Use a batch file to get a text list of directory contents (Google "batch list directory contents" for plenty of solutions).
- Copy-paste the batch output into Excel (or a freeware CSV editor), B column, fill A column with the public directory path, save as CSV.
- Edit CSV in Notepad, use search/replace to remove the comma separating the directory and filename.
Steps 3 and 4 could be skipped, if I knew how to code batch files, alas no... Too technical for me. If the files need to be web path converted, as Dave says, try Googling "URL encode decode" for more helpful results than "web path converter", and convert the files before step 3.
