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

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

      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?
