Can we import data from Dropbox to matlab?

I have .csv data that is uploaded to my Dropbox, and I would like to import to matlab to do some analysis every other hour.

1) is there a way to import this file from Dropbox directly?

I haven't used this but maybe this function would be helpful:

You can get a link to your dropbox .csv file like this:

However, it would be easier to just sync the folder to your computer and load it from there using the absolute filepath and normal readtable or csvread.

Hope this helps,
