    <description>&lt;P&gt;We are providing API to mobile application users, so we need to provide temporary access to download a file who calls an API like this /media/{id}/download. So we need set password or create temporary link to download the file. we need to acheive this throuh dropbox API.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;we checked shared_link API "&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings&lt;/A&gt;" with expires / password but when we try to create another link it throws link already exists. we want to create&amp;nbsp;different link for each&amp;nbsp;request and set different password. A new temporary link for each request. The link can even expire withing five minutes&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We have a mobile application with multiple users accounts, everyone needs to download the certain files from dropbox. But we don't want to make the dropbox files to give public access or not to manage through team users in dropbox. What would be the best way to make the download process secured for each user.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We want&amp;nbsp;create temporary&amp;nbsp;links / access to download files by user with separate credential&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/392228"&gt;@JohnPeterD&lt;/a&gt;,,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/set-link-permissions" target="_blank"&gt;Would creating password - protected shared links&lt;/A&gt; help on this?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If not, could you please provide more details on what exactly you are trying to do?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for clarifying&amp;nbsp;this, I'd recommend posting this question in&amp;nbsp;the &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/bd-p/101000014" target="_blank"&gt;API Support area of our forum&lt;/A&gt; to get the best help possible on this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It sounds like the closest thing the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API offers is the&amp;nbsp;get_temporary_link endpoint:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_get_temporary_link" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_get_temporary_link&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can call that to get a temporary link that expires in four hours, and you can call it multiple times to get different links. You can't add a password or configure the time limit though.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
