    <title>topic Re: How i get a file ID from a share URL? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox offers &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/view-only-access" target="_self"&gt;a "shared link" feature&lt;/A&gt; which enables you to share files or folders via a link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can create shared links via the API using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings&lt;/A&gt;. Note that these shared links themselves do contain a random token specific to the shared link, but this is not the "file ID".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have a shared link and want to get the ID for the file or folder it points to, you can use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" target="_blank"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata endpoint&lt;/A&gt;. The returned information will contain the 'id'. Likewise, to get the actual file data, you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In my business they use functions to download files from others applications like OneDrive or Google Drive from the link generated when you share files and copy in a textbox, IDs generated from the shared link are the IDs of the file or is it an own ID to share it?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
