Shared Link get file
Is there anyay to have an html input that accepts a shared link as data and have it grab that shared links related files? I have a client that would like the option to paste a shared link into his website, but not have the shared link redirect to dropbox; instead display the contents of the shared link on his website. Any insight would be helpful, thank you in advance!

Yes, the Dropbox API offers the ability to get information about shared links.
You can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata to get the information about the link itself. You can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file to get file data that the link refers to. You can use /2/files/list_folder to list the contents of the folder, if the link is for a folder.
There are respective native methods in the official SDKs.
