Programmatically Process Shared Link Folders and Sub-Folders and Their Contents
Well I'm still at a loss.
I have the shared link to a folder that I need to check on a daily schedule to see if there's new files. The logic of which is all fine, but I just can't access anythi...
Thanks again for coming back on this, mate. Really very much appreciated.
One last question ... how about the whole folder? That is, we know, not nested, and available at root.
Is there any internal reason given as to why the access to Shared Files is so antiquated (sorry) ... or ... let's be honest ... restrictive ... next to the rest of the interface? It seems ... odd. Particularly given the removal of RSS and the way that people use Shared Folders.

Also, not for nothing, but then this particular guide should include that Shared Sub-Folders are essentially not accessible via the API:

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the feedback! I can't speak to why any particular feature was or wasn't implemented, but we appreciate you taking the time to share this. I'll send it along.
If you have a shared link for a folder and wish to get a direct link to that, you can likewise modify that as documented here. For folders, that will give you a .zip file of the folder.
