I am not trying to get them directed to a shared account. I just want to have a Hyperlink built into a PDF, that when someone clicks it, it immediately opens the app.

Hey jmabus, so if I understand correctly, you just need a link that will simply open the Dropbox app and nothing more, right?

 

To be honest, there's no way to create a link through Dropbox that would do this. 

 

Perhaps there's some kind of 3rd party app that might be able to do it, but it wouldn't be something we can support.

    Correct, I just want t a link that would open the app automatically. It's kind of of wild that there is no link to open the app, as simply as that is. Thanks for responding to me.
