      <title>Cannot obtain download links for files in public shared folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Cannot-obtain-download-links-for-files-in-public-shared-folder/m-p/394096#M21709</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I have a link to a shared folder with thousands of photos:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/saudciiyp40kjr5/AACG9UCNAtsy0WMxuX82xGLma?dl=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/sh/saudciiyp40kjr5/AACG9UCNAtsy0WMxuX82xGLma?dl=0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I can see and download any of them from browser without authentication, even as guest.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I need to provide download links for some of them to other application.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In my app, which has "&lt;SPAN&gt;Full Dropbox" permission type,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;I'm able to use &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder" target="_self"&gt;files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt; API call to get &lt;STRONG&gt;list of files in the folder&lt;/STRONG&gt; (I use&amp;nbsp; &lt;EM&gt;shared_link =&amp;gt; url&lt;/EM&gt; parameter instead of &lt;EM&gt;path&lt;/EM&gt; ).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But the list doesn't contain download links for photos.&lt;BR /&gt;Path information also does not provided.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;When I'm trying to use &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#sharing_get_file_metadata" target="_self"&gt;shared/get_file_metadata&lt;/A&gt; API call with any files id ( id:iTdyj36XZGAAAAAAAACN0A for example) I recieve error :&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;{ 
"error_summary": "access_error/invalid_file/...", 
"error": { ".tag": "access_error", "access_error": { ".tag": "invalid_file" } } &lt;BR /&gt;}&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;On &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_get_metadata" target="_self"&gt;files/get_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I receive error:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;{ 
"error_summary": "path/not_found/.", 
"error": { ".tag": "path", "path": { ".tag": "not_found"} }
 }&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;So, how I can obtain these download links for photos in the shared folder?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Seems the feature you ask for is unavailable (or deprecated for some reason -don't ask me why). Possible workaround is using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings&lt;/A&gt; for every one file.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;BR /&gt;But sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings requires &lt;EM&gt;path&lt;/EM&gt; parameter, which I don't have.&lt;BR /&gt;The shared folder is not mine. I have only url&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ohh... I misunderstood. In such a case, I don't know any useful move. &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt; might provide some workaround or, at least, accepts the above as a feature request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good luck.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm afraid that's correct; there unfortunately isn't a way to do exactly what you want to do here. While you can retrieve the metadata and file content for a particular file from a shared link for a folder like this using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file&lt;/A&gt; as mentioned, the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to retrieve the download link.&amp;nbsp;I'll pass this along as a feature request,&amp;nbsp;but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Update: The Dropbox API now returns the shared link for the nested item as 'url' when requesting the metadata for that item using the "path" parameter on &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/A&gt; (instead of the original parent link).&lt;/P&gt;</description>
