Uploading to a shared folder through api
I'm working on integrating dropbox to my company's website and we want to add a feature in to allow the users to share their shared folders to us and using the dropbox api, we upload files to the sha...
Yeap that was one of the way that i tested and it worked. But i'm talking bout when a user just gives us a shared link to their folder instead of adding us to the shared user's list on the folder
Is there a way to upload to that folder with just the shared folder link that they gave us? or do we have to be given access to the folder and then we will have to use the path that we get from /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] on our own account and then upload to that path.
Can we directly upload to the folder link that the recipient on another account gives us (image attached is the way they get the folder link)

Dropbox Community ModeratorI see, thanks for the screenshot! No, you can't upload to a folder just with the link.
That shared link is a different kind of sharing, and only provides read-access. You'd need to actually be invited to the shared folder (or the shared parent folder, in the case of the screenshot) to be able to write to it.

Gotcha! Thanks Greg for answering my question!
