Is Dropbox working with Access Control Lists and how can i extract or view them for folders or files
I know that in other cloud storages often ACL´s are used.
How does Dropbox grant permissions to users for editing, viewing etc. files or folders.
Is there a way to view that info like in a JSON type manner?
Thank you in advance!
- Dropbox does offer access control features, for example on shared folders as covered here:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/set-file-permissions
You can get information on the level of permission for the linked user for a particular folder via the API using /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_folder_metadata
Or you can list other members and their permission levels using /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue]:
