How can I list content of sharded folder that has not mounted yet?
How can I list content of sharded folder that has not been mounted yet?
The Dropbox API functionality for listing folders is generally only meant for mounted content, but you can technically list the contents of an unmounted folder by calling /2/files/list_folder with the 'preview_url' (e.g., from the shared folder metadata) as the 'shared_link.url' parameter, like:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"path\": \"\", \"shared_link\": {\"url\": \"<PREVIEW_URL>\"}}"

Thanks, it's a bit disappointing but expected. Can you say, only upload operation is forbidden for such type of shared folder or I should avoid other modification operation like renaming, creating\deleting sub-folders? Currently they work fine, can I use them in production?
