Create Sharelink issues for files not uploaded yet

[jgroen]

I set this parameter before generating a sharelink: dropbox.sharing.PendingUploadMode.folder

This works fine as long if I don`t go deeper that one (not yet indexed folder) folder.
So if create folder/folder2 and they are not indexed yet the API will throw an error on generating a sharelink for folder2.

I understand this behaviour. Dropbox can not know (yet) which parent folders exist and therefore throws a lookup error. Is there any way to work around this? We sometimes add a lot of files which causes delays in indexing (and therefore the generate sharelink issues)

Example of error: 

updateApiError('5c3ff85396c07b0dc59c6b5e53703877', CreateSharedLinkError(u'path', LookupError(u'not_found', None)))

There isn't an option to change that behavior, so the only workaround that comes to mind is to explicitly create the parent folder(s) first. We'll consider it a feature request for a better way to do this though.

Gotcha. Can you tell me how the official Dropbox client handles this particular situation? Would it also fail, or does it use the workaround? Many thanks

The official Dropbox client works in a very different way entirely, so it isn't a useful comparison unfortunately.
