Re: Best way to get a file's URL

Best way to get a file's URL

Not applicable
Go to solution

I am making an iOS app that displays all of the images from a selected folder. To make caching the images easier and more efficient I'm using the SDWebImage Library. SDWebImage requires a URL and I'm currently using the getTemporaryLink function to get a link for each image in the folder. Is there a better way to get a URL? I'm concerned that the links expiring will cause issues.

@rahlpanchal Pash237 shared an example of using the getTemporaryLink method. Is that not what you're looking for? If not, please feel free to open a new thread with the details of your question.

Hello Greg i have the same problem with this error : "{"Value should match pattern '\\A(?:(/(.|[\\r\\n])*|id:.*)|(rev:[0-9a-f]{9,})|(ns:[0-9]+(/.*)?))\\z'\r\nParameter name: path"}"

 

heres my code:

 

try
{
       var result = await dbx.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync(@"E:/Dropbox/iCodesStorageDropbox/H11018304_MMCH/CF1-         TR18-0000005-121212-JOSESAPANZAAMIDO.enc", null);
       var url = result.Url;
       MessageBox.Show(url);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
        MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}

@lenner90 No, unfortunately it's not possible to get a temporary link for a folder itself, or for multiple files in bulk, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

Need more support?
