Get all files in shared link loder
I'm looking to use the v2 api to download the contents of a shared folder from a link like this: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/[some_junk]/[some_other_junk]?dl=0 this link is not necessarily gener...
Hi Greg,
I was successful in listing the folders and files from the shared folder, however, I am still having trouble downloading data. The meta-data shows the fields 'path_lower' and 'path_display' to be empty. Could you suggest if I can download the files after listing the entries?
Thanks

Dropbox Community Moderatorjyotinarang It sounds like you're calling list_folder with a shared link owned by a different user than the one for the access token you're using. In that case, the path values won't be included, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
That means you'll need to manually build the relative path from the 'name' value. E.g., if the returned metadata entry for the file you want in the root of the folder is "test.txt", you would pass "/test.txt" to get_shared_link_file.
