/list_folder/get_latest_cursor -> shared_link
Hello, I noticed that for get_latest_cursor you can add a shared_link parameter. If I understand the documentation correctly, this parameter allows you to get the cursor for a file whose name is contained in the url. However, I have a problem with creating json with parameters in which there is a shared_link parameter. How such json should look like? is this right?
{
"path": "/ SZOtestowe",
"shared_link": {"url": "https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7a0cbikc4s318i/orze%C5%82-2.jpg?dl=0", "password": ""}
}

Just to avoid some confusion maxior1234. Take in mind that if you have different strings as valid cursors, this doesn't mean they mandatory represent different enumeration states of the folder you're listing! I think you are assuming it - it's not true. Just perform a test - call multiple times 'get_latest_cursor', without calling anything else in meantime (the enumeration state can NOT change); you may expect the same cursors strings. 🙂 Are they the same? Also, the downloading doesn't change the enumeration state (uploading does it). Think for all cursors as a something opaque and don't try to interpret or compare them nor assume anything that's not explicitly pointed in corresponding documentation. 😉
Good luck.
