Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I have a shared folder with a URL like:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{first gibberish}/{Second Gibberish}?dl=0
Using the API there will folders and subfolders created there. I was hoping to be able to directly link to those folders with URLs like:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{first gibberish}/{Second Gibberish}/Test?dl=0 where Test is the name of a subfolder. That does not seem to work since the URL for the subfolder is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{first gibberish}/{Different Gibberish}/Test?dl=0 and I don't know the Different Gibberish. I don't have access to any responses the API may send when creating the subfolders.
If a user has the link to the shared parent folder, shouldn't they be able to easily link to the subfolders? Is there a way to directly linking to subfolders only knowing the shared URL to the parent folder and the names of the subfolders?

Unfortunately, this isn't available via API v2, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
For reference, this is possible via API v1, with the /1/metadata/link, but API v1 is deprecated.
As mentioned in my original post, I do not have access to any responses from the API, so I'm not sure why the post was moved, nor why I am getting suggestions for how to (not) do it through the API.
