Has anything been done regarding this feature? Is there a way to create short URL links with v2.0 API without using deprecated methods?

DSnopov&nbsp;The&nbsp;sharingCreateSharedLink method is deprecated, so we don't&nbsp;recommend using it. However,&nbsp;we don't currently have a timeline for when it will be retired.

That method doesn't offer a way to request a short URL,&nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. (The only place this is available in API v2 is&nbsp;createSharedLink, but that is deprecated.)

Greg-DB · Answer

Unfortunately, no, there's no update on this.

There is also no way of getting a link before a file is uploaded in the sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings method. Is it safe to use deprecated sharingCreateSharedLink? When is it going to be removed?
