Programmatically Process Shared Link Folders and Sub-Folders and Their Contents
Well I'm still at a loss.
I have the shared link to a folder that I need to check on a daily schedule to see if there's new files. The logic of which is all fine, but I just can't access anythi...

Dropbox Community ModeratorGot it, thanks! I'll send this along to the team. (I can't promise if/when it might be implemented though.)
I can't speak to those third party automation tools though, as they're not made by Dropbox.
Ello, I'm back again! :-)
I'm still trying to make this work.
I'm working with the copy, now.
So, let's say that I have this shared folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g0ja3gk1u1pjf9y/AADjilHpLqi-e5PO-RGp4PHIa?dl=0
That shared folder has a subfolder called:
test5
If I would like to copy the contents of that test5 subfolder to a given folder in the API, what am I putting in the 'from_path' field in this JSON?
{
"from_path": "WHATGOESHERE?",
"to_path": "/destination5",
"allow_shared_folder": true,
"autorename": false,
"allow_ownership_transfer": false
}

Here's a few attempts that I've made that have failed miserably:

"allow_shared_folder": true,

I've also tried to have a look at the JAVA SDK builder, as I think that you actually recommended that someone was able to do it with that ... but I really don't understand how to use that.
