Is it possible to share a folder using custom extensions?
I am working on an extension for my company's app and was wondering if it is possible to share a folder using extensions? In other words, instead of specifying a specific extension (such as .jpg) and then finding a .jpg clicking share-> [extension] is it possible to share the parent folder id itself and then download the files in the folder on the backend?

No, unfortunately the Extensions functionality only supports individual files, not folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Hey Greg,
Thanks for the quick response. Is there an alternative to extensions or is there another means to do this? For example, I use the Slack add on and I am able to see the option to share from the folder level, any insight on how they accomplished it?

That's a custom integration that Dropbox has with Slack, and not something that one can plug in to generally unfortunately. Apologies I don't have better news for you!
