Hello!
I have a webapp that I have integrated Dropbox API in (python).
This allows the user of the app to 'attach' files to a specific scope. The scope determines the folder structure in the Dropbox Apps folder.
As the user adds images, we create a database entry for the image with the dropbox id and the scope used for local referencing.
Once added, we use the file.id to lookup the file path, which is used for the other api methods.
When our 'attachments browser' is opened, we load the relevant local images data into a grid display. If they select an image on the grid, I get a TempLink for that image id and use it to preview the image in an HTML cell. My understanding is the TempLink last for 4 hours.
I've tried to implement an embedded email using SharedLink with setting in the API, but the link I receive does not seem to be able to be used for an embed(only an 'a href', even though the 4 hour TempLink can be used as such. My ultimate goal is to have the user of this webapp have a Business level account, where I can use expiring Shared Links with a 2 day expiration.
Is anyone else using dropbox images in email embeds, and if so... what direction did you settle on with facilitating that.
