Get link of already shared Folder (Swift)

sadhu_sanjay

Hi,
I'm using

createSharedLinkWithSettings function to get the link of a already shared folder but it's giving this error:

error [request-id ce72d5ed059d9a78c1d7368710550f8e] API route error - {

".tag" = "shared_link_already_exists";

}

I would get the already shared link if the link already existed please help me with this

You can use listSharedLinks to list existing links. In this case, it sounds like you'd want to pass in the path of the folder as "path", and use "directOnly=true" to get only the link you're interested in.

Thanks, Greg
this solves it, Have another question if you don't mind answering, I would like my app to log in In BackGround, without showing the user Login controller, I know it's not recommended but is it possible or not ? if so how?

thanks

No, the user needs to interact with the app authorization flow manually to connect their account. This only needs to be done once per user though.

(Unless you mean you only want the user to connect to your own single account? That's technically possible, but not recommended.)

Yes that's exactly I meant , I only want to connect to user to my Own account .

Thanks for confirming that. The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. However, it is technically possible to connect to just one account. The SDKs don't offer explicit support for it and we don't recommend doing so, for various technical and security reasons.

However if you did want to go this route, instead of kicking off the authorization flow, you would manually use an existing access token for your account and app. (Just be careful not to revoke it, e.g. via https://www.dropbox.com/account/security .)
