The goal is to store json files on an external server. I'm going to fetch data and show in my react native app. The files won't be adjusted often. It's a static data.

The first thing that came to mind is to keep those json files on some file hosting. But I was trying to explore the option of doing the same thing with dropbox.

The get_metadata request https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata only provides metadata (obviously).

get_preview also won't give me what I need.

Is there a way to store json files in dropbox and read them with react native?
