Dropbox StaffThe Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a way to retrieve all shared links for items inside a specific folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
Using /2/sharing/list_shared_links with a specific path only "returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path", so you'd need to either:
- call /2/sharing/list_shared_links once for each specific file, or
- not specify a path, and then do the filtering client-side for items under that path
Hey! Does Dropbox API have any changes? I wanna get downloadable link of items inside folders, Is it possible to get it in one API request? Currently I'm using get_shared_link_metadata endpoint and it works really long for the big amount of records because i should make request for each item.

kuznetsovvl No, unfortunately I don't have any changes to report for this feature request.
any changes or updated within the api to support listing the sharing links for a shared folder?
