Get child folder link from shared folder link
Hi,
I am trying to use the API to get the already created shared url for child folders in a shared folder.
To demonstrate I have a shared folder link that contains some files and a folder here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lgjbsmsdzyobz8a/AABQPF-7nPepYQO8XXRObsJ9a?dl=0
If I click the folder kittens I get a new url:
How can I get the url for the kittens folder from the first shared url using the API? I know I can use files/list_folder to get the file and folder names but I don't see how I can convert that to the shared link.
Thanks
The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get the child link like this unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Update: The Dropbox API now returns the shared link for the nested item as 'url' when requesting the metadata for that item using the "path" parameter on /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata (instead of the original parent link).
