Dropbox StaffHi Tim, unfortunately that endpoint in API v2 doesn't currently return those particular pieces of information, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
Hey, is there an update on this already? I'm trying to get the shared folder id using the GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync method and its returning a way different id (ie: id:3loy3mKeW5AAAAAAAAAACw) compared to the one expected in the MountFolderAsync method.
Is there a way i can get the right folder id using an api from a shared folder link?
