Hi, Is there any functionality in box to produce a publicly accessible URL to an image?

It needs to be a direct link to an image that can be opened in browser eg https***.jpeg

Already looked into API solutions such as get_url, get_shared_url, get_embed_url. None of those are suitable since they are not direct links to a hosted file type.

  This functionality does not currently exist. You can make a shared link to a file, but it opens the file in Box - not a jpeg file in the web browser. 

  Thanks,
