Can we download shared files directly using Dropbox API

Hello All,

Can we download files from sharing section(without mounting it into MyFiles section) using Dropbox API v2. Please suggest me.

Thanks.

If you're referring to shared files (listed under https://www.dropbox.com/share/files), you can programmatially list these using /2/sharing/list_received_files[/continue] and download them using /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file by supplying the preview_url.

 

If you're referring to files inside unmounted shared folders (listed under https://www.dropbox.com/share/folders), you can likewise list these using /2/sharing/list_mountable_folders[/continue] and access file data using /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file by supplying the preview_url for the shared folder, and the path for the file under it.
