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 !

        Is this normal? Look at this scenario....

        Get an link using the endpoint "get_temporary_link" of video file. After that, I removed the file permanently, but the temporary link still working and the video plays normal. Tested with different types of web browsers.

         

        Thanks!
