    <title>topic API endpoint to create symlinks in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/API-endpoint-to-create-symlinks/m-p/533423#M25697</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Currently, the Dropbox API will tell you if a remote file is a symlink and where it points to in the "symlink_info" field of the "FileMetadata". This is useful to know so we can either skip that file during download or create a corresponding local symlink.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, the reverse does not seem to be currently possible: How do we create a symlink entry in the remote Dropbox folder? `files/upload` or `files/create_folder` are the only API endpoints that allow creating entries on the server and neither of them appears to support creating symlinks. Have I overlooked something or this currently just not possible?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The API doesn't offer the ability to programmatically create symlinks, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
