Connecting foobar to music stored on Dropbox or Pcloud

I’ve just put all my music flac files both onto Dropbox and PCloud. I’ve been trying to link foobar2000 to the files in the cloud but cannot work out how to do it. I’d really like to do this so I can play the music in foobar2000 and listen to the music on my Naim muso via apple airplay2. Can anyone help please?

You need to get direct link for  file(s) and create playlist(s) with these links. Put links into simple txt file (one link per line), then change file's extension to m3u.  Or use File->Add location to add files to fb2k's playlist one by one. To get direct link is easy for Dropbox ( https://bydik.com/dropbox-direct-link/ and https://syncwithtech.blogspot.com/p/direct-download-link-generator.html ) but seems impossible for Pcloud.

Direct Dropbox integration would be best, since Dropbox makes direct links expire a while after they're created.

I found links that i posted more than year ago and they still work.

Good. I may only know about the API generated links, which are good for 24 hours.

Just found that for paid accounts it is possible to create direct links for files that are in public folder. And if you put all you FLACs in pcloud, you probably already have paid account.
