akanshikumari Здравко is correct; the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to do this directly, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

As mentioned in dropbox export API we need to pass the path of file in headers.. But I am not getting path for shared file/folders in any of the listed API's:
- /list_received_files
- /get_file_metadata
- /get_folder_metadata
- /get_shared_link_metadata
It should return the path_display as mentioned in the example here. Is there any solution for fetching the path display?

The path fields are "optional", meaning they are not guaranteed to be set. The path fields will not be set if the file is not mounted in the connected account. In your screenshot, the path fields are not set, meaning they are not mounted in the account for the access token you're using, and so there is no path value to return.
