I use the below code to create a shared link of my files. In case if the file containing virus, is the Dropbox API stop it or it is continue to create a share link for that file?

 

listSharedLinksResult = dbxClient.sharing()
.listSharedLinksBuilder()
.withPath(fileId)
.withDirectOnly(true)
.start();
fileUrl = listSharedLinksResult.getLinks().get(0).getUrl();

 

 

Thank you.

The listSharedLinks functionality does not create shared links; it only lists existing shared links.

 

The createSharedLinkWithSettings functionality can be used to create shared links. If the creation of a link for any particular account/file is not allowed, that will fail with ACCESS_DENIED.
