How can I read an image from my dropbox account ?

I want to read images from my dropbox account. This is the link that dropbox generates while sharing the file.

I have tried this, imread('http://www.dropbox.com/s/47qu9b7vv5407sx/pg%201.jpg'); and this too, imshow(imread('http://www.dropbox.com/s/47qu9b7vv5407sx/pg%201.jpg'));

But, both don't work. It would be very helpful.

I have sucessfully read an image into ThingSpeak from dropbox. You can see an example near the bottom of channel 876466. There is an update here with good instructions
