Dropbox StaffHey JohnPeterD,,
Would creating password - protected shared links help on this?
If not, could you please provide more details on what exactly you are trying to do?
Thanks!
We are providing API to mobile application users, so we need to provide temporary access to download a file who calls an API like this /media/{id}/download. So we need set password or create temporary link to download the file. we need to acheive this throuh dropbox API.
we checked shared_link API "https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings" with expires / password but when we try to create another link it throws link already exists. we want to create different link for each request and set different password. A new temporary link for each request. The link can even expire withing five minutes
