Download new file from shared folder

[Paweł S.2]

Hello! 
We got chooser in application and we can choose a video to upload to application. Idea is we want that user can choose a folder and if new file appears in specific folder, the new file will upload to our application. 
Is it possible to detect if new file appears and then we should got the download link to this file. Detect is just refresh folder info... But then we got no download link to new file.

Unfortunately, at the moment, we don't have any updates to share here – apologies!

Dropbox API v2 now supports listing the contents of a shared link for a folder. This can be accomplished using the same interface as listing a folder in a connected user's account, via the list_folder functionality. To list the contents of a shared link for a folder, you instead provide the shared link URL in the `shared_link` parameter to list_folder:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint:


In the .NET SDK that's available as `ListFolderAsync`:
