Open a desktop FOLDER via using api only.

Abujp1993

Is there any possible way to open a folder using api?

right now we open a url, and from there Right-click onto a file -> Open In -> File Explorer

this can take time to do

I want to know two things,

1) After opening the website, if there is a shortcut that can do the same (example CTRL+1)
Right-click onto a file -> Open In -> File Explorer

2) If can use API to directly access and open the desired folder on to the logged in PC or PCs

Thank you, please guide.

1) No, the Dropbox web site does not appear to offer a keyboard shortcut for that particular feature. You can find information on the available keyboard shortcuts here . This section of the Dropbox Community is only meant for the Dropbox API though, so if you have any other questions regarding the rest of the Dropbox product, please refer to the relevant section of the community, or contact support.

2) No, the Dropbox API does not offer access to this functionality, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. If you are interested in finding the local Dropbox folder to access that directly via the local filesystem though, please refer to this help center article.
