## Evaluation Prompt

````text

# Task
Using https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation, complete the following task:

Using Dropbox, build me a script that uploads a file, gets a share link, and cleans up:

1. Create a text file "*****.txt" with content "Hello from Lightsage"
2. Upload it to Dropbox
3. Get a shareable link for the uploaded file
4. Delete the ***** file from Dropbox

Print the result as JSON with fields: file_id, share_link, deleted (boolean) 

## Execution
After creating the script, run it to verify it works:
```bash
cd /home/daytona/app && python <your_script>.py
```

The script should print output to stdout. If there are errors, debug and fix them until it runs successfully.
