New context menu proposal
Our business software is web based, and using its file selection popup allows us to attribute documents to transactions by selecting them from either a UNC path or URL, where the files path get stored in the database, and users can view that document later when they retrieve that transaction.
The "Dropbox -> Share" and "Dropbox -> Copy Dropbox Link" context menu options work, but in my opinion are overkill for the scenario where new links are unnecessary, and an existing option almost gives us an easier solution.
What I'm proposing is a new "Dropbox -> Copy Preview Path" context menu option that simply copies the existing https://www.dropbox/preview/... path, without the actual navigation and preview part.
Example: Selecting "Copy Preview Path" would copy the following to the clipboard:
Alternatively, since this is not an actual preview, what gets copied to the clipboard could be the normal web navigation path, which we have tested and it works equally well. When I shared a URL like this one with team members, those with permission could view it and those that didn't couldn't:
Either way, no additional links required and access permissions are preserved as expected, and in our case, as desired.
Thank you!
Thank you!
