Temporary Link
Hello.
How do I make a Temporary Link for a phtoto that I just uploaded to dropbox?
I cant figure it out on the api v2
I'm using the Python Dropbox SDK btw.
Thanks a lot!
To get a temporary link to a file on Dropbox using the official Dropbox API v2 Python SDK, you should use the 'files_get_temporary_link' method.
The 'path' there should be the path to the file on Dropbox. You can supply that directly, or get it from Metadata.path_lower (e.g., as returned by 'files_upload', etc.).
