    <description>Unfortunately the Dropbox API just happens to not have the particular functionality you're looking for. I've sent this along as feedback, but I can't promise if or when any of this functionality would be implemented.</description>

      <title>Sharing an app folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Sharing-an-app-folder/m-p/217441#M11357</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I would like to create an iOS app that saves some voice recordings into an app folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then the iOS app should mail a link to the app folder to other users, who (using the same iOS app) should be able to listen to the recordings.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Using Swiftydropbox I cannot create a shared link to the app folder, "" is not supported, I can only obtain a link to a specific file like "/Recording1.m4a".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) I cannot use&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Swiftydropbox with just such a link to download the file.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I would like to be able to pass a link to the app folder to&amp;nbsp;Swiftydropbox and use it for downloading new recordings.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Would that be possible?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;1. The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't allow an app with the app folder permission to create a shared link for its own app folder. Instead, you could make a subfolder, e.g., "/Recordings" (or whatever you'd like), and then get a shared link for that folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. You can download the file from a shared link using the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/SharingRoutes.html#/s:FC13SwiftyDropbox13SharingRoutes17getSharedLinkFileFT3urlSS4pathGSqSS_12linkPasswordGSqSS_9overwriteSb11destinationFTV10Foundation3URLCSo15HTTPURLResponse_S2__GCS_19DownloadRequestFileCCS_7Sharing28SharedLinkMetadataSerializerCS5_32GetSharedLinkFileErrorSerializer_" target="_self"&gt;getSharedLinkFile method&lt;/A&gt;. Note that if you supply the link to a folder, you'll also need to know the sub-path of the specific file you want, and supply it to the "path" parameter..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the quick reply.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. Yes, I also thought of the idea of creating a dummy folder&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What is the reason that the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't allow an app with the app folder permission to create a shared link for its own app folder?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. But don't you still need to authenticate to use the getSharedLinkFile ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In my&amp;nbsp;app I would like record, login and upload a recording to Dropbox, then mail a shared link to the recording folder to my friend.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My friend&amp;nbsp;would like to&amp;nbsp;initialize Swiftydropbox with the shared link to my folder, not login but just enumerate the files in the folder including metadata rev, and then download any new/changed files using the otherwise very useful and well designed Swiftydropbox framework.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>1. The Dropbox API doesn't support creating a shared link for the root path, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. (In the case of an app folder app, the app folder itself is "root".)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;2. Yes, the getSharedLinkFile does require user auth, so it sounds like that won't be a good solution for you.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Alternatively, if you send links for individual files instead of the folder itself, you can modify the links for direct file access, without using the API:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/201" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/201&lt;/A&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;1. Great, thanks&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. Do you know if it is at all possible to obtain metadata (rev, &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;clientModified,&amp;nbsp;serverModified, etc.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;for a shared link ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or to enumerate files in a shared folder ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If not, then Dropbox might not be the platform for me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The idea is, that my friend would occasionally check the link to my app folder to see if I have made any new recordings or modified one.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Using the powerful SwiftyDropbox at my friends side would have been extremely useful to me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope you understand the functionality I'm seeking, and you will consider if it is something Dropbox will support&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;/Lars&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;2. You can use &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/SharingRoutes.html#/s:FC13SwiftyDropbox13SharingRoutes21getSharedLinkMetadataFT3urlSS4pathGSqSS_12linkPasswordGSqSS__GCS_10RpcRequestCCS_7Sharing28SharedLinkMetadataSerializerCS2_25SharedLinkErrorSerializer_" target="_self"&gt;getSharedLinkMetadata&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to get the metadata, but that also requires user auth, like&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/SharingRoutes.html#/s:FC13SwiftyDropbox13SharingRoutes17getSharedLinkFileFT3urlSS4pathGSqSS_12linkPasswordGSqSS_9overwriteSb11destinationFTV10Foundation3URLCSo15HTTPURLResponse_S2__GCS_19DownloadRequestFileCCS_7Sharing28SharedLinkMetadataSerializerCS5_32GetSharedLinkFileErrorSerializer_" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"&gt;getSharedLinkFile&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The API unfortunately doesn't offer a way enumerate the contents of a folder via a shared link for the folder.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I get the feeling that my suggested scenario in some way violates the business model of Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why isn't it possible for my friend to see the files including metadata in my app folder without auth ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Greg,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;thank you for your help and considerations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I sincerely hope that the functionality I'm seeking is&amp;nbsp;reasonable and that you will support it in the great SwiftyDropbox&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;/Lars&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>Dropbox API v2 now supports listing the contents of a shared link for a folder. This can be accomplished using the same interface as listing a folder in a connected user's account, via the list_folder functionality. To list the contents of a shared link for a folder, you instead provide the shared link URL in the `shared_link` parameter to list_folder:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the Swift SDK that's available as `listFolder`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/FilesRoutes.html#/s:13SwiftyDropbox11FilesRoutesC10listFolderAA10RpcRequestCyAA0C0C04ListF16ResultSerializerCAH0if5ErrorK0CGSS4path_Sb9recursiveSb16includeMediaInfoSb0O7DeletedSb0O24HasExplicitSharedMembersSb0O14MountedFolderss6UInt32VSg5limittF" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/FilesRoutes.html#/s:13SwiftyDropbox11FilesRoutesC10listFolderAA10RpcRequestCyAA0C0C04ListF16ResultSerializerCAH0if5ErrorK0CGSS4path_Sb9recursiveSb16includeMediaInfoSb0O7DeletedSb0O24HasExplicitSharedMembersSb0O14MountedFolderss6UInt32VSg5limittF&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Note that this only supports user authentication, not app authentication, so you will need an access token to make this call. Support for app authentication for this is open as a request with the team, but I can't promise if/when that would be implemented.&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
