Get children of Shared link of folder - Java

[nomi]

Kindly tell me a way to get access to children of a folder whose url is provided to public. I am using Java and V2 version of Dropbox Api. I searched the whole api, but could not get a solution. All I could do was to find metadeta of the folder i.e. SharedLinkmetadata but of no use to me.

Thanks.

Moved to the API forum.

Thank you.

API v2 doesn't return the file/folder listing, e.g., in SharedLinkMetadata/FolderLinkMetadata, unfortunately. I'll send this along as a feature request though.

(A workaround would be to use the deprecated /1/metadata/link.)

Hey

Yes?

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`:

In the Java SDK that's available via `listFolderBuilder` to get a `ListFolderBuilder` on which you can call `ListFolderBuilder.withSharedLink`:
