Re: sharing folders inside folder via command line- DB for business

sharing folders inside folder via command line- DB for business

Hi,

I see that with DB for business, it's possible to share folders that are inside folders.

https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/share-inside-folder

 

I wonder if it possible to do it via the API. In version "Pro", the issue is that I don't have a "shared_folder_id" for  subfolders of shared folders. But I have only the "parent_shared_folder_id".

Will it unlock this feature.

It's only possible to nest shared folders in "team folders" in Business accounts. It's not otherwise possible to nest shared folders, regardless of account type.

If you are operating on a Business account via the API, sharing folders works the same way, inside or outside of team folders.

To share a folder you would use the /2/sharing/share_folder endpoint (or corresponding native methods in the SDKs):

It's not possible to "unlock" nested shared folders for Pro accounts.
Need more support?
