Key Command/Shortcut to "Copy Dropbox Link" from Mac Finder.
I copy download links all day from the Mac Finder. It would be great to assign a key command so that you can highlight a file in your Dropbox via Mac Finder, and press a key command to copy the link instead of right clicking.
Update (2023-01-17)
I've moved the script to a repository and expanded on the instructions.
I wanted this now, so I wrote a Python script to get the URL from the command line and created an Automator QuickAction that calls the script with the selected file(s) in Finder:
Now, ^⌘L copies the Dropbox URL of any number of files selected in the Dropbox folder.

Bump. Please. It's almost 2022
Would really love to see this as it would also allow hotkey integration with different tools (I.E. a button on my mouse).
Signed up to vote for this! The contextual menu items should just be exported as services by the Dropbox app. Then they'd appear in Finder's Services menu and users would be able to assign shortcuts using System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
