Suggestion: support upload from a public link

[mouscaillot]

I wonder if it could be possible to upload an image from a public link instead of using a local file ?
Per example « $ dbinbox USERNAME https://d339l1rkauam1y.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/logotype1.png » will copy the linked image to the USERNAME’s dropbox. This improvement could be cool !

Oh hey, that's totally possible.

In these cases I've found myself just sending the link as a text file (which I believe the above line of code will do), then I can download the URL when I'm at my computer and even include a small note about it.

Do you think that would cover your use case?

Yes it works fine but the attached link is not consider as an image so I am not the file’s owner.

In my case I want to share images between Dropboxs and when the friend’s public links will expired/deleted it will be just useless links in text files.

Ahh, that makes sense. I'll add it to my todo list!
