How Can I Give Access Level To Create Shared Link using REST API ?

[ideveloper200]

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

[Greg-DB]

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?

[Greg-DB]

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.
