Hi,
We can download a file directly from a TemporaryLink and like that there is no need to download the file first to the server. Is there a way to give a zip file to a client without the need to have it first on my server?
Tanks in advance!
If you mean you want to be able to get a zip download for a folder on Dropbox (like the /2/files/download_zip endpoint offers), but via a temporary link (like how the /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint offers for files), no, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer that. I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
You could technically do this by calling /2/files/download_zip (or the corresponding method if using an SDK) directly from the client, but that would require you to trust the client with possessing the access token.
Ok Greg, Thanks. I was just looking to save some time from the downloading the file on the server. If it is a big folder it may take a while while downloading it on the server. But if there is no possibility aparentely i will have to do it that way. Thanks Again!
