      <title>Mount a folder from a shared link</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Mount-a-folder-from-a-shared-link/m-p/302489#M18288</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have an app with full dropbox access.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. I poll for changes and wait until some folder is shared with me (&lt;SPAN&gt;/list_folder/longpoll)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;2. I get notified when some folder was shared with me (via&amp;nbsp;/list_folder/longpoll)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;3. I want to mount that shared folder. But not sure how to do it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If I check&amp;nbsp;list_folder with cursor, I dont get shared folder because it is not mounted yet and list_folder returns only mounted folders (?)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;There is&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;list_mountable_folders as well. But I dont have a valid cursor to get only "new" mountable folders.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;What would be the flow to "fetch" only new mountable folders? :}&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;First, to clarify your post's title, it's not possible to mount a shared folder from a "shared link". There are&amp;nbsp;a few different types of sharing on Dropbox, and they work differently.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The term "shared links" refers to &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/view-only-access" target="_blank"&gt;the ability to send a link to any file or folder&lt;/A&gt;. These cannot be "mounted".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The term "shared folders" refers to &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/share-with-others" target="_self"&gt;the ability to share a folder&lt;/A&gt; with another&amp;nbsp;Dropbox user, and allow them to view or edit the contents. These folders can be "mounted" in the recipient's account.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, it sounds like you are referring to the latter functionality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To mount a shared folder that you've been invited to, you should use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-mount_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/mount_folder&lt;/A&gt; endpoint. That allows you to specify the shared folder ID of the currently-unmounted shared folder that you want to mount.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can list the currently-unmounted folders and get the shared folder IDs for them from&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_mountable_folders" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/list_mountable_folders&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_mountable_folders-continue" target="_blank"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;]. (The 'path_lower' value will be absent for unmounted folders.) There isn't a way to monitor for new&amp;nbsp;mountable&amp;nbsp;entries only,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request as well.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
