Revoke get_temporary_link

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!

I did a second test, using the shared link instead of temporary link and yes, it works as expected. After permanently delete the file, the shared link does not work anymore. But the temporary link still working.

Please note that the permanent deletion process can take some time to be processed and so such changes may not be immediately reflected everywhere.

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!

@julio_diniz_perdigao Dropbox does support daily use and operations, so you should be able to copy and delete files every day.

Need more support?
