Extracts image URLs from a Dropbox page and copies them to the clipboard when a button is clicked.
This user script allows you to extract image URLs from a Dropbox page and conveniently copy them to the clipboard with a single click. It enhances the functionality of Dropbox by automating the process of obtaining direct image links, making it easier to share or use these URLs elsewhere.

This script is compatible with popular web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari.
This script uses a scrolling mechanism to load all images on the Dropbox page, even if they are initially hidden due to pagination or lazy-loading. Once all images are loaded, their URLs are extracted and copied to the clipboard. The script automatically adjusts the waiting time for scrolling based on the page load speed, ensuring efficient extraction.
If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please visit the support page on GitHub to report them. You can also find the latest updates and more information about the script on its GitHub repository.

Tested and compatible with Tampermonkey.
Nothing appears bottom right:
- Try again on another Dropbox folder page.
- Make sure the Tampermonkey extension is enabled and the script is installed.
- If the issue persists, see Viewing UserJS Logs.
You can adjust the SECONDS_TO_WAIT_FOR_SCROLL constant in the script to change the amount of time the script waits for new images to load after scrolling to the bottom of the page.
The Tampermonkey script is designed to automate the process of extracting image URLs from a Dropbox folder page and copying them to the user's clipboard. The script is executed as a userscript in the context of the browser's web page, and it operates by interacting with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the Dropbox page. Below is a technical explanation of how the script works:
SECONDS_TO_WAIT_FOR_SCROLL: A constant that specifies the number of seconds the script should wait for new images to load after scrolling to the bottom of the page.DOWNLOAD_URL_REPLACEMENT: A constant that specifies the query parameter to be appended to the image URLs to enable direct download.getImageLinks: A function that queries the DOM for anchor elements (<a>) containing links to image files. It then extracts the href attribute of each anchor element, replaces the query parameter ?dl=0 with ?raw=1 to enable direct download, and returns an array of modified URLs.waitForImagesToLoad: An asynchronous function that programmatically scrolls to the bottom of the page and waits for a specified duration (defined by SECONDS_TO_WAIT_FOR_SCROLL) to allow new images to load.imageUrls to store the image URLs that will be extracted from the page.<button>) and appends it to the DOM. The button is styled and positioned in the bottom right corner of the page. The text content of the button is set to "Copy all URLs."finished variable, which is initially set to false.waitForImagesToLoad function to scroll to the bottom of the page and wait for new images to load.getImageLinks function to extract the URLs of the newly loaded images. It filters out any URLs that have already been added to the imageUrls array to avoid duplicates.finished variable to true, which will terminate the loop.numUrls variable.\n), and copies the string to the clipboard using the GM_setClipboard function provided by the Tampermonkey API.
The script leverages the Tampermonkey API, DOM manipulation, and asynchronous programming to automate the process of extracting image URLs from a Dropbox folder page and copying them to the user's clipboard. The script is designed to be compatible with the Dropbox web interface.
