    <title>topic How to get absolute URL using shared_folder_id in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-get-absolute-URL-using-shared-folder-id/m-p/454199#M23462</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a folder that has been shared with another Dropbox user using the API. At the time of sharing, I save the shared_folder_id for future reference.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How would I use the shared_folder_id to get the absolute URL for the other user?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just to be clear, I'm looking for a URL that I can give to the other user that will open that folder on their own computer, not mine. For example, my URL might be "&lt;A href="https://dropbox.com/work/some_folder" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://dropbox.com/work/some_folder&lt;/A&gt;", but their URL might be "&lt;A href="https://dropbox.com/personal/some_renamed_folder" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://dropbox.com/personal/some_renamed_folder&lt;/A&gt;". So I'm hoping that I can use the shared_folder_id to give the other user a direct URL to their folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the help.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can use the shared folder ID to call&amp;nbsp;&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; (or corresponding method in an SDK/library) and get the "preview_url" value from the response.&amp;nbsp;That will be a URL that will automatically redirect to the shared folder in their account when a member of the shared folder accesses it. (Non-members would not automatically get access, but could use the page to request access.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
