In my case with daily backups, I end up needing to manually run the authentication step every day to generate a new access token in order to run backups. Your shortcut will appear with alias appended to the name of the file. Click Make Alias (or Make Link on Linux). To do so: Go directly to the Dropbox folder’s location. A new access token will then need to be generated for backups to complete. For easier access to the Dropbox folder on your computer, you can create a shortcut. Type 2: - This is the same image but when raw1 is replaced with DL0, then the image is viewed on the Dropbox image viewer: DL0. Type 1: - This is the static image URL with jpg location: raw1.
The result is that backups run 4 hours after token creation will result in the expired_access_token error. Dropbox has 3 ways of showing the URL of an image. Newly created Dropbox access tokens (those created after September 30th, 2021) are short-lived and expire after 4 hours.

Once connected via OAuth, this workflow has the potential to do a lot of things with Dropbox, but currently only queries the dropbox service for shortened URLs. Once authenticated, you don't need to do this step again. You can authorize the Dropbox app in your browser, and then the local server shuts itself down. For those who are interested, it starts a Ruby-based local web server using Sinatra which is then opened in the default browser. It uses OAuth in the background to connect to Dropbox so you can authorize the Alfred 2 Workflow without storing passwords insecurely. The shortened link pops up and is copied to the clipboard. Authorize the workflow to use the Dropbox API (only if this is the first time)Ĥ. Select a file in Finder (must be a file within your Dropbox folder, e.g. ) and copies the link to the clipboard (Cmd+Shift+D):ġ. For any file in your Dropbox folder, this workflow shows the dropbox short link URL (e.g. quickly share any Dropbox file or folder with a short URL and other people would be able to view your shared files and folders straight from their browser.
