[Pywps-dev] GSoC 2016: Weekly report 2

[Vikas Mishra]

Hi,
I think sharing a file can be done, How does this look?
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs/python#DropboxClient.share
Also please note that the links created here are time-limited, does it make
any difference?

Thanks and regards,
