File path from URL
Hello,
Is there any way to get file path from file's URL.
Example: If a file - "fileName.m4v" lives inside "folder1/sub-folder1" and its dropboxURL is https://www.dropbox.com/s/something/fileName.m4v?dl=0.
I am looking for function/code that takes URL as parameter and returns filePath ("folder1/sub-folder1/fileName.m4v")

Hi chakmangoo,
It's only possible if the authenticated account is the one that own the shared link. In such a case you can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata.
Hope this helps.
PS: Take in mind that Dropbox non empty path always starts with slash (not directly with the first folder or file name as in your post). The path form, you posted, is invalid!
