Is there a way to automate adding the file to Dropbox and getting the new link?

You mean upload a file to dropbox? I found this if it might help:

Code:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/master/example/back-up-and-restore/backup-and-restore-example.py

edit:

you can use

Code:

dbx.sharing_create_shared_link(self,path,short_url=False,pending_upload=None)

to get the uploaded link. (See base.py in the dropbox lib)
