It sounds like you're referring to /2/sharing/list_shared_links, is that right? The API doesn't currently offer a way to get the total count like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

the FILES LIMIT option i've add/think to, present also the follow problem:
API answers return files, starting from latest added/uploaded files into dbx by the user.

you're right! this the result, after also your's helps, if i can:
https://plugins.w3tasks.com/wp/index.php/dropbox/?u=admin
it is possible to register and test. This linked as example is just a test account for an user named admin
now i know there are more ways to achieve a result and maybe i can now rewrite in another way, using DBX API in different way ... but it work very fast due to a little cache system added, that seem to work really nice!
The plugin is done by just 5 little files, and 1 unique class, but let for each user do anything into his DBX, within WP.
Admin can choose which groups can use the dbx feature, files limit, cache time, full dbx or app folder.
Not totally sure the way to release it .... i could ticket something about maybe for some help hint?
Thank you for all.

p.s it use all the dbx more easy available features, coded at once, and it is funny how using it you can do really all, with this little code. P.s it is still little raw, but work like a charm-
p.s i know there is no need for you but ... maybe for others, the user menu about DBX appear on user profile page, after registered!
p.s about file count on first API answer in list_shared_links: would be great, for a files limit feature that can so be added more easily, but in true, is possible to inform about the fact that there are more files, but only some have been retrieved, and display maybe, in this case, only files and not folders extracted from array response. By the way the count available would be maybe useful for some other nice thing to display to users.
