We’re Still Here to Help (Even Over the Holidays!) - find out more here.
Dropbox you are killing me... you give me notifications that we have hundreds of links shared, but no bulk way to remove them.
What's worse? While I can delete the thousands that I made over the last 3 years, I CANNOT DELETE FOR TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE LEFT.
If you give me the warning there is a security issue of shared links, then have a quick resolution for it.

Someone just needs to wrap this into a tool for me:
pip install dropbox
Then:
import dropbox
# Replace with your Dropbox access token
ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_access_token_here"def revoke_shared_links():
"""Fetches all shared links and revokes them."""
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(ACCESS_TOKEN)try:
# Get all shared links
response = dbx.sharing_list_shared_links()if not response.links:
print("No shared links found.")
return# Iterate and revoke each shared link
for link in response.links:
try:
print(f"Revoking link: {link.url}")
dbx.sharing_revoke_shared_link(link.url)
print("Revoked successfully.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to revoke {link.url}: {e}")except Exception as e:
print(f"Error retrieving shared links: {e}")if __name__ == "__main__":

I've had the same issue for a long time and have contacted support about it. They asked me to post here.
There is an API. So it would be pretty easy for someone at Dropbox to write a tool that would expire links older than n months.
