Access shared file in Dropbox API


I need to regularly download a file that someone shared with me on Dropbox. I manage to list all my shared links through the HTTP API (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_shared_links) but this don't list the file I want.

I can't figure out what is the correct way to download through the API a file that someone shared with me. Here below you can see the print screen on Dropbox where this files is, if it can help...

Solution

  • Based on your screenshot, it sounds like you need to use the /2/sharing/list_received_files and /2/sharing/list_received_files/continue endpoints instead.
