Update content of the file from an editable share link using the AP

Hi,

 

I want to update the content of the file that is provided using the editable share link (rlkey is one of the query parameters). I tried to get the file id from the https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata endpoint and used it on the https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload. The content is updated successfully just if the user logged is the owner of the file or it was manually added on the editor lists. 

Do you know any flow on how I can update the content?

    Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to do this using the link from an account that isn't an explicit owner/editor like you described, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
