Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
I am working on a system where users can submit sharing links from dropbox. They are also able to preview these shared files.
When a user submits a file: we make a request to t get_sharing_link_metadata endpoint and get the id.
When a user wants to preview the file, we make a request to get_file_preview passing the id of the file.
Recently we had a situation where the shared file is in a personal folder, the file is shared through a sharing link but the folder is not shared with any other user.
When calling get_file_preview with the id of this file, we are gettting a "path not found " error.
- Am I correct in assuming that this because of the folder access right?
- Is there a way around it? an end point for previewing shared links?
Thank you
