Shared links inheritance behavior in Team Space model
Hi, I am working on getting the shared links of a file or a folder along with it's parent's shared links with API list_shared_links. However, I got different response from Team Space and Team Fo...
Thanks Здравко and Greg-DB for replying this.
However, I still can't get the parent's shared link back.
Here is the detailed steps:
1) Create a private folder Team_shared_links_inheritance under UserA's team member folder
2) Create view link for the private folder with access Anyone with the links
3) Upload a file under the folder Team_shared_links_inheritance
4) Make an API Call to list_shared_links to list folder Team_shared_links_inheritance's shared links with Team Admin Bearer Token and set team_member_id of UserA for Dropbox-API-Select-User header.
And successfully get the shared link back in response.
5) Make an API Call to list_shared_links to list the file's shared link without direct_only, but there's nothing back in the response. (with the same headers, changing the path to the file's id in payload)
So I just wondering if the inherited shared links is available under specific circumstances like must set the path instead of id or the `Dropbox-API-Select-User` header is not enough ?
Thanks.
HI mikechiu,
I just checked, to be sure, and it's working with either path or id. So no issue at all. In your description is not clear where you got the file id in use. Does it belong certainly to the file you uploaded (or any other file in your Team_shared_links_inheritance folder)? 🤔 If not, this is the issue. If no some explanation still, share your program code that leads to this issue (not only verbal description), since something is missing in your description. Mask your access/refresh token etc. but show all API calls as full as possible so the issue could be reproduced.

mikechiu If you can share a sample like Здравко described, that would be helpful. Thanks!
Hi @Greg-DB and @Здравко , thanks for your reply.
Why do you think there should be more links? 🤔 Are there available such links? Is it certain?
Yes, I think when I list child file's shared links, there should be parent's shared links in the response.
I test upstream API via Postman and Curl.
Below are my detailed steps:
1. Get team admin access token
2. List all namespaces
3. List mike chiu 's team_member_folder with namespace: ns:4710493057
mike chiu's team_member_id: dbmid:AABoDSTDeZtrGKUDsWr8OP_qv9l6s8itCCk
4. List folderTest_shared_links_inheritance(id:sK5VCkFxNtoAAAAAAAAAZA)
There is a file named EWAU.png (id:sK5VCkFxNtoAAAAAAAAAZQ) under this folder
5. List shared links of folder Test_shared_links_inheritance with header Dropbox-API-Select-User: dbmid:AABoDSTDeZtrGKUDsWr8OP_qv9l6s8itCCk❯ curl -s -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $dt" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Dropbox-API-Select-User: dbmid:AABoDSTDeZtrGKUDsWr8OP_qv9l6s8itCCk" -d '{"path": "id:sK5VCkFxNtoAAAAAAAAAZA"}' https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links | jq .
