    <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;/2/sharing/get_folder_metadata endpoint you're referring to is for operating on shared folders, but you have a shared link (to a folder) which is a different kind of sharing functionality on&amp;nbsp;Dropbox and so uses a different ID.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you want information about a shared link, for a file or folder, you can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or to download file content from a link:&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>How to read a shared folder link in v2?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-read-a-shared-folder-link-in-v2/m-p/149734#M4926</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;When I share a dropbox folder by &lt;STRONG&gt;passing a link&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;someone, the format is something like:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/someid/someotherid?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/sh/someid/someotherid?dl=0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here is the API to read a shared folder:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_folder_metadata" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_folder_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What is the folder id? I tried every part of the shared link without any success, I just get a 409 error "Invalid id".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How can I read a shared link?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Gregory, how can you list the files that are at the public shared link?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;get_shared_link_metadata does not return the list of files, and does not return the shared folder ID, so how is this possible?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Tim, unfortunately that endpoint in API v2 doesn't currently return those particular pieces of information,&amp;nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Apologies for the inconvenience! The API v2 shared link endpoint doesn't return all of the same information. I've sent this along as a request but I can't offer a timeline for when it may be added to v2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yeah, "the same information" isn't what's necessary. "Doing the most basic thing that it did in v1", ie. listing files, is necessary.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Alexander, it sounds like you already sorted some of this out, so I'll follow up on the &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206343136-Download-new-file-from-shared-folder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;latest thread you replied on&lt;/A&gt;, so as not to spam others on these threads.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey, is there an update on this already? I'm trying to get the shared folder id using the&amp;nbsp;GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync method and its returning a way different id (ie: &amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;id:3loy3mKeW5AAAAAAAAAACw&lt;/SPAN&gt;) compared to the one expected in the&amp;nbsp;MountFolderAsync method.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there a way i can get the right folder id using an api from a shared folder link?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Dropbox API v2 now supports listing the contents of a shared link for a folder. This can be accomplished using the same interface as listing a folder in a connected user's account, via the list_folder functionality. To list the contents of a shared link for a folder, you instead provide the shared link URL in the `shared_link` parameter to list_folder:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the .NET SDK that's available as `ListFolderAsync`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Files_Routes_FilesUserRoutes_ListFolderAsync_1.htm" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Files_Routes_FilesUserRoutes_ListFolderAsync_1.htm&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the Java SDK that's available via `listFolderBuilder` to get a `ListFolderBuilder` on which you can call `ListFolderBuilder.withSharedLink`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html#listFolderBuilder-java.lang.String-" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html#listFolderBuilder-java.lang.String-&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/ListFolderBuilder.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/ListFolderBuilder.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/ListFolderBuilder.html#withSharedLink-com.dropbox.core.v2.files.SharedLink-" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/ListFolderBuilder.html#withSharedLink-com.dropbox.core.v2.files.SharedLink-&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the JavaScript SDK that's available as `filesListFolder`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesListFolder__anchor" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesListFolder__anchor&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the Python SDK that's available as `files_list_folder`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_list_folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the Swift SDK that's available as `listFolder`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/FilesRoutes.html#/s:13SwiftyDropbox11FilesRoutesC10listFolderAA10RpcRequestCyAA0C0C04ListF16ResultSerializerCAH0if5ErrorK0CGSS4path_Sb9recursiveSb16includeMediaInfoSb0O7DeletedSb0O24HasExplicitSharedMembersSb0O14MountedFolderss6UInt32VSg5limittF" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/FilesRoutes.html#/s:13SwiftyDropbox11FilesRoutesC10listFolderAA10RpcRequestCyAA0C0C04ListF16ResultSerializerCAH0if5ErrorK0CGSS4path_Sb9recursiveSb16includeMediaInfoSb0O7DeletedSb0O24HasExplicitSharedMembersSb0O14MountedFolderss6UInt32VSg5limittF&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In the Objective-C SDK that's available as `listFolder`:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/Classes/DBFILESUserAuthRoutes.html#/c:objc(cs)DBFILESUserAuthRoutes(im)listFolder" target="_blank"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/Classes/DBFILESUserAuthRoutes.html#/c:objc(cs)DBFILESUserAuthRoutes(im)listFolder&lt;/A&gt;:</description>
