# Get temporary link — Dropbox

Botize method — `dropbox.get_temporary_link` (action).

Get a temporary link to stream content of a file. This link will expire in four hours and afterwards you will get 410 Gone. This URL should not be used to display content directly in the browser.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `path` *(string)* — File Path

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{date}}` *(date)* — Date
- `{{file_name}}` *(text)* — File name
- `{{file_type}}` *(text)* — File type
- `{{file_url}}` *(file)* — File URL
- `{{name}}` *(text)* — Name without extension
