question: API to get download url for a file within shared_link folder

Open yarikoptic opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Using .files_list_folder(path="", shared_link=dropbox.files.SharedLink(url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ofdd6ia32eo4wk5/AAA8553of0M2tQVlfR0S2GTFa")) it is possible to obtain a ListFolderResult instance with FileMetadata (and FolderMetadata for recursion) entries.
For "owned" directories (not shared ones) it is possible to use .sharing_create_shared_link(path, ...) to obtain download URLs for individual files in your own dropbox path. But I found nowhere in API a method to obtain a (public) download url (if files under shared_link were all shared as well) to the files discovered in the shared_link folder, e.g. as identified by FileMetadata.rev or FileMetadata.id. Is there an API to achieve that?

Thank you in advance for the clarification/guidance!

No, unfortunately it's not possible to get the shared link for a file inside a folder from a shared link for the folder. I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
