  7. Thanks a lot for making it easier, but this is to inform you that links not working for e-commerce listings, it shows invalid URL during upload and also if you will choose the manual method to get Dropbox link and bulk method to get link than you will find both of the link is different (bulk images link is ending with ? mark instead of dl=0)

    1. Hi Rakesh,

      Thanks for the feedback. We are regularly using this method to create these dropbox links and using across all the marketplaces such as amazon, flipkart, snapdeal, shopify etc.
      Please share your excel sheet at info@primesellerhub.com, I will check and revert. In dropbox if a link is ending with ?dl=0 it means do not download automatically. If it ends with ?dl=1 it means download file automatically. In case it ends with ?raw=1 it means the actual image file. Please replace ?dl=0 with ?raw=1 it will work.

      Regards,
      Alok

  8. Thanks dude. This saved so much of my time.. Just one little query, when I copy and paste the cpoied dropbox links, the names ( also the links after performing module) come in alternate rows(i.e. every other row is blank) then I have to use goto function and delete blank rows, so is there any other solution?

  9. Hi,

    Thanks for the info.

    However, while I am trying to paste the image links on the excel file, the actual images are getting pasted instead of the links. Can you help me to understand how to get rid of this?

    1. The links are just behind the images. Just increase the column width and you will be able to find your links.

      After running the macro, to get rid of images, just copy both the column and paste onto another sheet as values and you will be able to find what you are looking for.

  10. Hi Aloke, Please can you help me :

    I tried this method to copy links to the images in dropbox. 1. It is taking huge time for copying to excel sheet and feels that it will fail. 2.So, I tried with 2 images – instead of the link being copied onto excel the images appeared. 3. Then, The module is not opening on pressing ALT+F11 instead, the brightness gets adjusted. I am using windows 10.

    Also I want solution to get links in bulk from goodle drive. I tried this by getting ADDON in the google sheet but there it is pulling the downloadable links – which i dont need. I need viewable links for amazon, flipkart etc.

    Thanks, gautam

  14. Everything works fine with this method.
    You just need to make sure the image file size is smallest. If its big then it might take time and also excel will crash for more than 100 images.
    It also depends upon your system configuration
