Hey alfred community
I just got used to some of the new alfred workflows and I already think about some that I would love to use. Unfortunately, I'm not the best scripter nor do I have any experience creating some of these little tasks.
I found an older workflow that enabled me to upload one file to the dropbox public folder and copied the (shortened) url to the clipboard. My wish would be that I could also choose a folder/file or maybe a bunch of files (which wouldn't be a must have feature since the folder thing should do the job), zip that folder or that file, move it to the public folder and copy the (shortened) link to the clipboard.
Such a workflow would just be amazing to use and I think it would be the best way to handle this little dropbox problem. The file could either be chosen by the built in Alfred Finder or a global hotkey.
 
Thank you guys for reading that post and even thinking about if you would give it a try or not

Here is a version to test but first consider:
 
The workflow assumes it is a normal Dropbox installation so the public path would be like "/Users/YourName/Dropbox/Public/". I can make it configurable later after our tests. The workflow will ask for the Dropbox Public folder ID There is no way to edit the ID right now (please type it carefully) Test redundant files first though the workflow does not delete or move the original files Shortened URL is a bit tricky because if the file is synching then it does not exist in Dropbox yet. I found out that some services checks if the file exists before making the URL. The service used in the workflow produced the best results. Download here.
 
Note: hotkey, keyword and File Actions are ready to test.
