is it possible to create folders in dropbox via code without any manual interaction? The account would be created manually no problem. However I need to creat efolders with permissions and also either create the link to that folder or obtain the link to the folder programatically.

Thanks

Hi @infofeedback,

Take a look on 2/files/create_folder_v2, 2/files/create_folder_batch, and 2/files/create_folder_batch/check for folder creation. Also take a look on 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and 2/files/get_temporary_link for different link types creation, providing access to the content. There are end points 2/file_requests/create and 2/files/get_temporary_upload_link for providing upload links creation.

You can perform HTTP query directly or use some of SDKs provided for convenience. There are equivalent calls of functions/methods. The choice is yours.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for the tips. I am no "curl" programmer but life's for learning. Cheers.

You are not mandated to use curl exactly! This tool is convenient to demonstrate many types of query and useful on shell scripting. It's very useful for communication debugging. On "regular" programing, more "typical" languages are usually in use. As I said above few SDK for such languages exist fully supported (some more are partially supported). You can perform end points call using native method available in your environment and so organize something like your own "SDK" too, if there isn't any existing Dropbox SDK for your programing language. Again, the choice is yours. 😉 Select what's most convenient to you.

Excellent! Thanks for pointing that out.
