I had to deal with that in AirLaunch and I don't think it's possible without asking the user at least once. After you do that you can generate links using the same format, as long as the files are in the same folder as the one the user supplied.

Dropbox generates a different cryptic string for each folder. The general format is:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/<long random string>/filename.txt

As long as a file is in the same folder, you can use that URL and just replace the filename at the end with a different one. But since each folder has its own random string, you can't know what the URL will be for any other location.

The Dropbox app probably knows, but it isn't telling.
