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...
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.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the additional information. That's helpful. I've sent this along to the team.
There are any updates? I need same sub folders functionality
- Greg-DBNo, unfortunately I don't have an update on this.
Greg I was very frustrated to get this email from Dropbox today. Sure, I spent hours and hours working on my apps' migration to v2 already. And nonetheless, despite my efforts, soon tens of thousands of my users are going to wake up one morning and the app will have stopped working. And there's nothing I can do.
Can you please get this endpoint migrated to v2?
To provide our developers with the most up-to-date features and support a single, consistent platform, we're turning off API v1 soon. You'll need to fully migrate your app to API v2 before the turn off date.
