    You can use listSharedLinks to list existing links. In this case, it sounds like you'd want to pass in the path of the folder as "path", and use "directOnly=true" to get only the link you're interested in.

          this solves it,  Have another question if you don't mind answering, I would like my app to log in In BackGround, without showing the user Login controller, I know it's not recommended but is it possible or not ? if so how? 

    thanks

      No, the user needs to interact with the app authorization flow manually to connect their account. This only needs to be done once per user though.

      (Unless you mean you only want the user to connect to your own single account? That's technically possible, but not recommended.)
