    <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>

      <title>Traverse a shared folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Traverse-a-shared-folder/m-p/268338#M15802</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Given a shared link (ie&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/koc0ymsn8lxk2sh/AAAS28iWSscFFzg3u6bZ6QB7a?dl=0" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/sh/koc0ymsn8lxk2sh/AAAS28iWSscFFzg3u6bZ6QB7a?dl=0&lt;/A&gt;) from the account I don't own, my goal is to produce a list of download links for the files inside the given folder and later download them. Note that I don't want a zip of the folder - customer UX would allow to unselect separate files and I want to download selected only (so `?dl=1`) doesn't work for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can list items inside&amp;nbsp;the folder with&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder&lt;/A&gt;. Each item has an ID (ie&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;id:jbYYPFO7EXYAAAAAAATVmn) and a `parent_shared_folder_id` (ie&amp;nbsp;1498401). I also have names of the files inside. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- sharing_get_file_metadata&amp;nbsp;returns "invalid id" for amy ID I get&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- sharing_get_folder_metadata also fails with&amp;nbsp;`parent_shared_folder_id`&amp;nbsp;fetched above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- I tried to `mount` the folder.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;There is literally no way to do anything with information from `list_folder`.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;How can I get download links for files shared with me inside a folder?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;[Note: I mangled links on purpose and they are just to indicate the format of the link I use]&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;When using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt; to list the contents of a folder via a shared link like this, the intent is that you can use the resulting paths for the files/folders under that folder with &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;&amp;nbsp;and/or &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;, i.e., by supplying the `url` and `path` (relative to&amp;nbsp;the folder) to get the child file or metadata. (The get_file_metadata and get_folder_metadata endpoints are for different types of sharing, so they don't apply here.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The&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;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;endpoint will let you get the file data directly, but there isn't a way to get a shared link for the nested file unfortunately. I'll send this along to the team though to see if we can get that added in the future.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Direct access to the binary is great, this works for the second step I want to do - thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For the first step, I would still need a direct link and thumbnail if possible to render it properly. For now the solution is to construct a URL of kind `?dl=0&amp;amp;preview=&amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;` to have the links.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ability to have to download links will be much appreciated - looking forward for it!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks for following up. To clarify though, I've sent this request along to the team, but I can't guarantee if or when that would be implemented.</description>
