Doubts related to mounting files, sharing folder & creating subfolder under sharng section.

- If you have an existing folder that you want to share, or want to create a new shared folder, you should first use the /2/sharing/share_folder endpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder
That will make an existing folder into a shared folder, or create one, and then return the shared folder metadata, including shared folder ID. You can then use that shared folder ID with /2/sharing/add_folder_member.

Thank you so much for solution.!!
Now I want to mount shared files into MyFiles section. can I mount it?
And can I create folder inside sharing section?
Thanks,

No, shared files (i.e., files that have been shared with you, not just files in shared folders) don't offer the same "mounting" functionality that shared folders do. You can list the files shared with you using /2/sharing/list_received_files[/continue]:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_received_files
You can create shared folders on demand, using either the web site or the API as discussed above.
