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...

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.
Thanks Greg for the information. I can see that the function get_shared_link_file() expects a url as parameter. However, this value is not available to me when I get information about the folder. How do I construct a url from just the name?Even with relative paths, I don't see a way to construct the url of the files within the main folder.
Thanks

jyotinarang Apologies, this thread was about originally about getting the files when working from a shared link for a folder, so I assumed that's the scenario you're working on as well, in which case the 'url' would just be the original shared link for the folder.
If you don't have the link, it sounds like you may be referring to a different scenario. In that case, please open a new thread with the details and code you have so far so we can help with it: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/101000014
