Using the Python API you are able to share the file directly. Any reason against it? Sharing a folder could be a good option if there is one folder for each process that is running, but only useful if there are more than one output file. But the WPS client need to handle accessing a shared dropbox folder. Personally I would share the each file directly. 

Cheers, 
Jonas
