File sharing with dbx.sharing_create_shared_link
Hi,
I am trying to create a sharable link for files in shared folders with visibility control, using Dropbox API
the code I use is
shared_link_metadata = dbx.sharing_create_shared_link...
First, note that sharing_create_shared_link is deprecated in favor of sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings.
For this use case, it sounds like you may want to create the link like this:
dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings(path=path, settings=dropbox.sharing.SharedLinkSettings(audience=dropbox.sharing.LinkAudience.no_one))The "no_one" audience means that the link itself does not grant access; the user would need to have access to the file already, e.g., via the parent shared folder.
