What path argument should I pass to .NET CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync()
Hi In our Website, written with ASP.NET and C#, we want to use .NET API to get shared link for a file. I found the method for this purpose named: CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync() but all my trie...
Esikhoob A 'path/malformed_path' error would indicate that the path value is invalid due to not being formed correctly; for example, this can occur if there is whitespace at the end of the path value.
A 'path/not_found' error would indicate that the path value is properly formed, but nothing was found at the specified path in the connected account/root.
Apps with the "app folder" access type are automatically rooted in the special app folder created for the app in the connected account, so yes, if you have a file named "Iran4K.mp4" directly in the app folder in the connected account, you would use a path value of "/Iran4K.mp4".
To list the contents of whatever root your app is accessing, such as the app folder, you can use ListFolderAsync/ListFolderContinueAsync starting with 'path' set to the empty string "'.
Hi
I can see the path I have passed during link creation, in my Dropbox`s account. I have successfully created shared links with equivalent javascript SDK`s function; I am using the same path that was successful there.
One question is: shouldn`t I enter path of files which exist in this App folder?
. . . (take in mind root namespace has to be the same for business accounts)? 🧐
What is root namespace?
. . . If you're trying to pass local path, it won't work, . . .
What you mean by local path. If I have a file named "Iran4K.mp4" in this App folder, should n`t I enter like this:
CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync("/Iran4K.mp4")
Thanks in advance
