About list_shared_links
I'm using a Dropbox basic account and API v2.0. Why do some files return a URL with / s / and some do not, even if I hit list_shared_links with a specific file path? Also, what is the difference be...
Thank you for teaching me!
I have an additional question.
The return value of list_shared_links is
Some files
"Links": [{". Tag": "file", "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/s/～～～～～",]
On the other hand
"Links": [{". Tag": "folder", "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/sh/～"]
There is a file that returns the folder information first. What is the difference?
Is it possible that the file is restricted?
I don't know the cause, so please let me know who knows.

Dropbox Community ModeratorWhen supplying a particular path, the /2/sharing/list_shared_links endpoint "returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path". So, if you call it for a specific file and see a folder link, that means that there's a shared link for a parent folder that enables access to that requested file. If you only want to links to the file itself, "Links to parent folders can be suppressed by setting direct_only to true".
Thank you very much. I'm approaching a solution!
