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?
