Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
I want to give acess level while sharing files or folders using rest api?
Please help
You can create a shared link using the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint.
You need a Dropbox API app with the app folder or full Dropbox permission, or a Dropbox Business API app with the team member file access permission to use that.
Hi,
Yes you are right,But how can i add access level to that create link.There is no such parameter for access level for this API.
If you hav example of code please share-
give edit only access for created shared link using REST API
You can use the 'settings' parameter on the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint to set the link settings, such as 'requested_visibility' or 'link_password'. (Be sure to click on 'SharedLinkSettings' to see the documentation for those options.)
The API v2 Explorer can be helpful for prototyping calls with specific parameters.
Hi,
Yes with setting i can give security level but i want to create shared link with only view access level or edit level access level.
For example- "https://www.dropbox.com/s/k3qefy79ywr9dk0/Test.txt?dl=0"
Now if you go to this link you can just view that document.I want this should be editable too.So how can i achieve this.
Shared links don't offer edit access. If you want to share particular files with specific members with specific access levels, you can use /2/sharing/add_file_member instead:

Ohks.
This is for team members right?
If i want to create shared link with anyone not only members with edit access level then which API will help?
No, it is not for team members only. You can use that to share specific files with edit access to team members and non-team members alike.
