API v2 equivalent of /1/metadata/link functionality is required
Please let us know the equivalent for API v2 of /1/metadata/link. There are countless reasons why this functionality is important for your API -- which you hopefully already know, otherwise I do...

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Tim, the API v2 version of /1/metadata/link is /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata:

Unlink /1/metadata/link though, it doesn't return the file listing for links to folders. Do you need that functionality in particular? I'll send this along as a feature request for that if so.

- Yes, I should have been more specific: I know that /2/ endpoint, but it doesn't work for folders (no way to get the files in the folder).
The specific problem is: someone shares a /sh/ shared folder link to a folder. Inside that folder somewhere (e.g. in a subfolder of a subfolder) is a specific file that my app knows to look for, but its location cannot be known due to many variables. In API v1, it just finds it by using /1/metadata/link and recursing through folders until it finds it. Simple. In Api v2 it's broken.
