    <title>topic Re: Fetch folder URL with Dropbox folder ID?? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Fetch-folder-URL-with-Dropbox-folder-ID/m-p/569513#M26649</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox unfortunately does not support a way to directly get a link to a folder from an ID like this exactly, 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;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are some things you may work, though they may require some programming.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If the folder happens to be a shared folder, one could call &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/get_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the 'path' set to the ID of the folder to get the 'sharing_info.shared_folder_id' which is the shared folder ID, and then call &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; with that 'shared_folder_id' to get the 'preview_url'.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Alternatively, one could call &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings&lt;/A&gt; with the 'path' set to the ID of the folder, and 'settings.audience' to to 'no_one' to get a link that would refer to the folder on the web site for anyone who has access to it, though not directly enable any additional access to it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Fetch folder URL with Dropbox folder ID??</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Fetch-folder-URL-with-Dropbox-folder-ID/m-p/569202#M26641</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;1st, I am not a developer. I can use webhooks with Zapier and understand things...that's about it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I use a web app in my company that creates a Dropbox folder automatically in my account for each "Order" placed. I can get a webhook payload from the app that contains "Dropbox Folder Identifier" which the value looks something like: &lt;SPAN&gt;id:j30bOvS0fLgAAAAEw_w (made-up example) etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What I need to do is have the friendly URL for the folder returned in a Slack channel Message upon creation, so that the appropriate person can get to it quickly.&amp;nbsp; OR a way to use/append a URL to access the folder with the ID (cant seem to figure this out)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can anyone help with this?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
