Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am writing an app that needs to download all the files from a directory shared via a link.
But when a link is a folder, /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file returns:
HTTP/409 shared_link_is_directory/..
So then I invoke /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata, I get:
{
".tag": "folder",
. . .
}
There is just an indication of a folder, but no way to see the contents of it.
However, when I access the same URL via a browser, I do see the contents and I am able to download the files without "mounting" the shared folder into my Dropbox.
So it appears to be possible via a Browser, but not via the API.
Is there a list_shared_folder API or something like it?
