    Hi Asharaf,

    There are corresponding methods for both actions. You can get link's metadata using GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync and download shared link's file using GetSharedLinkFileAsync (aside of the option downloading the file or entire folder directly with just change links ending "dl=0" to "dl=1").

    Hope this helps.
