Dropbox get public url of the file after upload

Need to upload files to dropbox and get the public url of that file. I'am generating thumbnails and need to show that in my site. I should also show the original files to users without login to the dropbox site.

After uploading to dropbox I need to get the original file url which will be used by crocodoc api viewer.

I could able to upload the file and I am getting the metadata of that file. I created shared url and given that url that url img tag in html but seems returning as html instead of image.

I have gone through similar questions mentioned in SO but almost all are referring old documents.

I found this trick earlier and thought I'd share.

Go to: https://www.dropbox.com/home

Then, highlight your mouse over an item, click on share. This will popup:

Simply change:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/io9oz94lgm2j2bb/loadingscreen.jpg?dl=0

to

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/io9oz94lgm2j2bb/loadingscreen.jpg

Replacing the www with dl, to get the direct, public url.
