Is there any solution for retrieving a Dropbox share link to a file, that doesn't involve opening a browser?

That puts it directly in the clipboard.

(For sake of clarity, I'm referring to when you right-click a file and select DropboxShare Link.)

No, you can't just get the link in clipboard, which is much safer for you. With Dropbox's version 2.0.5, you can easily share them through the toolbar.

There's a second way of doing it, being a lot better, which is:

Finder > Dropbox > public (move your public file here) > right click > dropbox > Copy public Link

dropbox share button

right click copy public link

Since September 2013 Dropbox introduced the possibility to automatically copy the public link of a shared screenshot to your clipboard.

On Mac you can use the default shortcuts Cmd+Shift+4 or Cmd+Shift+3 and the link is automaticlycopied to the clipboard.

On Windows you have to use Ctrl+Print Screen to get the link copied to the clipboard (If you just press Print Screen Dropbox will only add the Screenshot to the Screenshots folder).

You can as of a couple of weeks ago.
