get shared Link of Uploaded Folder

[jimb0p]

Hi,

I can upload my files with:

	public void uploadFileToDropbox(File inputFile, String path, String fileName) throws Exception{
		InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
		try {
		    FileMetadata uploadedFile = client.files().uploadBuilder("/"+path+"/"+fileName).uploadAndFinish(inputStream);
		    System.out.println("Uploaded to Dropbox: " + uploadedFile.getName());
		} finally {
		    inputStream.close();
		}
	}

How can I get the URL of the folder? I tried this:

	public String getShareLink(String path) throws DbxException{
		SharedLinkMetadata slm = client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings(path);
		return(slm.getUrl());
	}

But I always get:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: String 'path' does not match pattern

Changed the URL Line like that:

SharedLinkMetadata slm = client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings("/"+path);

I'm glad to hear you already sorted this out. That's correct, non-root file paths need a leading '/'.
