    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Simon, thanks for clarifying. I just took a closer look at this and I believe the SharedFolderMetadata.preview_url will actually work the way you want in this case. (Apologies I didn't think of that in my earlier reply.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That is, you can call &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_folders" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/list_folders&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_folder_members-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] to list the shared folders in an account, or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_folder_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_folder_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to get a specific one, and get the returned&amp;nbsp;SharedFolderMetadata.preview_url for the desired folder. That link will actually properly resolve for any member of the shared folder, e.g., even if they moved the shared folder in their own account.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Likewise the same metadata/link is available when you share a new folder using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/share_folder&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and check on the operation using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-check_share_job_status" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/check_share_job_status&lt;/A&gt;, or when modifying an existing shared folder using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-update_folder_policy" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/update_folder_policy&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also, you can share&amp;nbsp;a shared folder with a specific group&amp;nbsp;using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_folder_member" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/add_folder_member&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>link to a folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/link-to-a-folder/m-p/216027#M11153</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am working on using Dropbox Business integrated with a corporate application. When we share a folder with a member of staff, I need to provide a link to the folder that will work, even if they rename or move the folder. Is this possible?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The folders are inside a team folder, and are shared only with members of staff&amp;nbsp; - a general share via URL would be counter-productive here as it could potentially expose commercially senstive information.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this possible?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We don't offer a way to "deep link" to any particular file or folder, while accomodating for different folder structures across accounts,&amp;nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can programmatically create a shared link while still enforcing "team only" access control though. To do so, you'd use&amp;nbsp;/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and set&amp;nbsp;settings.requested_visibility.team_only:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure that's exactly what I need though - I need to be able to lock the permissions down to a single Dropbox group - if it opens it up to the whole organisation then that's much too wide for the purposes for which I need it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
