I have dropbox account with big amount of files, stored in different folders. Also i have a database (local) which store a links to files in my dropbox, uploaded by api methods. Links are created by CreateSharedLinkAsync API method. Is it possible to convert this links backward to file location, used in UploadAsync API method ? I mean recover file path from direct link.

Yes, you can supply the shared link to GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync to get the SharedLinkMetadata.PathLower value back. (The access token needs to be for the same account as the one that owns the shared link. Otherwise, the value won't be present.)
