Dropbox StaffThe Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get/construct the /home URL of a file/folder on the Dropbox web site like that (either explicitly or via an alias), but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
However, you can call /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings with the 'path' set to the the file/folder, and 'settings.audience' to 'no_one' to get a shared link that would refer to the folder on the web site for anyone who has access to it, though not directly enable any additional access to it. That kind of link would rely on the user's existing credentials/permissions, so it sounds like that may work for your use case.
Thank you! It works fine including team space folder with `Dropbox-Api-Path-Root`.
I have another question, when create link with 'no_one audience' setting, it seems not to count as external link, (I checked admin console https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/external_sharing?role=work ).
Is this true?
