Download file
Hello!
I shared the folder:
Got the file id using the method:
/files/list_folder
I'm trying to download a file by id:
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/downloa...
- To download a file using /2/files/download by specifying a file ID, the access token you're using needs to be for an account that has that file.
If you want to download a file from a different account using the shared link, you should use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file to do so:
