I didn't get the content related to sharedFolderId. how can I get the correct sharedFolderId according to the shared folder link and then traverse the folder to download the files it contains
You don't need the shared folder ID from a shared link in order to list and download the contents of the shared link.
You can use listFolderBuilder/listFolderContinue to list the contents of a folder based on a shared link to that folder. Use ListFolderBuilder.withSharedLink to set the shared link.
Then, based on the file names returned there, you can use getSharedLinkFileBuilder to download the desired file(s). Use GetSharedLinkFileBuilder.withPath to set the relative path for the particular file you want to download.
