    It sounds like you're referring to /2/sharing/list_shared_links, is that right? The API doesn't currently offer a way to get the total count like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

p.s it use all the dbx more easy available features, coded at once, and it is funny how using it you can do really all, with this little code. P.s it is still little raw, but work like a charm-

 

p.s i know there is no need for you but ... maybe for others, the user menu about DBX appear on user profile page, after registered!

 

p.s about file count on first API answer in list_shared_links: would be great, for a files limit feature that can so be added more easily, but in true, is possible to inform about the fact that there are more files, but only some have been retrieved, and display maybe, in this case, only files and not folders extracted from array response. By the way the count available would be maybe useful for some other nice thing to display to users.

    i'm doing something else and i do not know if it can be easy or not to implement on chooser ... but should be a good feature, if i could pass on loading it, a param to open on specified folder  ... yeah, ok this would be very nice, since we can already redirect where we want after an upload (for example) the chooser code.
