share file inside a folder by id

Suporte S.

Hi.

I'm trying to share a file by his id.

If the file it's on the root folder, using '/create_shared_link_with_settings' i can pass only the id, and testing on the api explorer works fine.

So, i tried to do the same with a file inside a folder.

<SPAN><SPAN>curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/<SPAN class="hljs-number">2</SPAN>/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings \
</SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Authorization: Bearer my-key'</SPAN> \
</SPAN><SPAN>  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Content-Type: application/json'</SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>\
  --data <SPAN class="hljs-string">'{"path":"/myfolder/id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg","settings":{}}'</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>

and this won't work.

if work on the root by logic i expected that work on any folder.

i don't want to rely on name, names can be very confusing.

It is a bug or a limitation?

If you want to create a shared link for a file and you know the id for the file, you can just use that, as opposed to trying to combine path and id. That is, if "id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg" is the id for a file at /myfolder/myfile that you want a shared link for, you can just use the id only:

curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/<SPAN class="hljs-number">2</SPAN>/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings \
  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Authorization: Bearer my-key'</SPAN> \
  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Content-Type: application/json'</SPAN> \
  --data <SPAN class="hljs-string">'{"path":"id:h8f3g764f73gf7fg","settings":{}}'</SPAN>
