ASP.NET shared link to a folder. Is it posible to choose one item by name to download it?
So, i have a project in ASP.NET MVC. I have a shared link to a folder with lots of photos in jpg formatt.
Using ListFolderAsync i can see the names of the archives(all the metadata, in fact) but since the shared folder it's not from my dropbox the metadata does not contain the paths of the items.
I Would like to use GetThumbnailAsync to get the thumbnail of a file from that shared link folder chosen by name. Is it posible? how so? any workarounds? Thanks for your time.
No, unfortunately there isn't a way to get thumbnails for files via shared links, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
The closest thing you could do is use GetSharedLinkFileAsync, but that would just return the original file data, not a thumbnail.

Thanks for the prompt answer, that works as long as I control the size I accept for the images.
Hello, sorry to bother you, any news on that feature request? It would be very helpful.
- Greg-DBNo, I do not have an update on this request.
