If you want to get information about the contents of a shared link without downloading everything, you can use the Dropbox API endpoints /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata, to get information about the shared link, and /2/files/list_folder[/continue], to list the contents of the linked folder, if the shared link is for a folder.

 

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to add a folder from a Dropbox shared link directly to an account via the API, without downloading and re-uploading it. We'll consider this a feature request for a way to do so.
