So I have hundreds or rarely around a thousand nage files on dropbox. I need links to each one of them in an Excel workbook.



I've seen the technique by using folder links, you can get bulk images... more info on that technique here - https://primesellerhub.com/2018/03/15/make-dropbox-image-links-bulk/



But the problem exists is when I need the individual links of the images. The above mentioned technique makes the links in bulk but the links itself are via a folder. The URL of such a link looks like this:



https://dropbox.com/sh/randomstuff/randomstuff/image1.jpg?dl=0



I want the links to look like this:



https://www.dropbox.com/s/randomstuff/image1.jpg?dl=0



The above link us obtainable by clicking share on each of the images and coping their links. This takes a lot of time to do for hundreds or even thousands of images.



How can I do this in bulk like the above mentioned technique but not via folders?

  • You might try an add-on for Firefox, Download Star, that can download all files of specified type(s) from a page... might work, or not, but it's easy to test.
