    babydream As Здравко said, the code you shared here doesn't show an attempt to create a shared link. Files don't have shared links by default, so sharing_list_shared_links won't list a shared link for a file before one is created. Also, when copying a file, such as using files_copy_v2, a shared link on the original file does not get copied to the new copy of the file.

     

    You can create a shared link using sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings. If that call isn't working as expected, please share the relevant code and error/output.

Hi babydream,

Where are you creating your links? 🤔 You can list existing links only; if there is no any link, as seems it's, the result you got is something normal.
