- Dropbox API v2 now supports listing the contents of a shared link for a folder. This can be accomplished using the same interface as listing a folder in a connected user's account, via the list_folder functionality. To list the contents of a shared link for a folder, you instead provide the shared link URL in the `shared_link` parameter to list_folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
You can also get the shared link metadata and file data using:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file
If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.
So, you could use a shared link for a folder and then programmatically list and access the contents.
