Revoke get_temporary_link

Hello!

Is there an way to revoke a get_temporary_link without wait it to expire? I tried to use revoke_shared_link, but seems that it works only for shared link e not for a temporary link.

Error while trying to use revoke_shared_link: {"error_summary": "shared_link_malformed/.", "error": {".tag": "shared_link_malformed"}}

 

Thanks in advanced!

    No, there isn't a way to proactively revoke a temporary link, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

      Thanks Greg-DB!

      Do you know if there is a limit of creating a shared link for a specific file using create_shared_link_with_settings? I mean, can i create and revoke as many links for the file, at same time?

       

      Did not find answers in docs.

       

      thanks again!

        Unfortunately Dropbox does not support creating multiple shared links for the same item, but I'll pass this along as a feature request as well.

  • Hi Greg-DB !

    Copiyng and deleting several files daily, can be an issue?

     

    Users in our platform can only access the files while logged in. The shared link should not be available if the user are not logged.

    These files will be accessed by many users and sometimes, simultaneously. So, sharing the original file is not an option and instead, we will duplicate the file for each user and delete it when no longer used.

     

    This process will be done several times daily. Do you think this can be an issue in the future?

    Thanks in advanced!
