share file inside a folder by id
Hi.
I'm trying to share a file by his id.
If the file it's on the root folder, using '/create_shared_link_with_settings' i can pass only the id, and testing on the api explorer works fine.
So, i tried to do the same with a file inside a folder.
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer my-key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"path":"/myfolder/id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg","settings":{}}'and this won't work.
if work on the root by logic i expected that work on any folder.
i don't want to rely on name, names can be very confusing.
It is a bug or a limitation?

If you want to create a shared link for a file and you know the id for the file, you can just use that, as opposed to trying to combine path and id. That is, if "id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg" is the id for a file at /myfolder/myfile that you want a shared link for, you can just use the id only:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer my-key' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"path":"id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg","settings":{}}' thanks.
it worked.
