Comment on The Dropbox Shared Folder API Betaparent

Comments

I am not sure if this is a share API feature, but it is a problem I am struggling with.

We have an app using sandbox app folder(we don't want to mess with user's full dropbox file system), but then problem is that users can not cooperate within a share folder.

Here is what I'd like to have: A user shares a folder within app folder, then when another user accepts the request, then 1) keep the same name and same path strictly, create intermediary paths if necessary; 2) don't proceed if conflicts happen.

Please let me know if it is already doable in current state.

Unfortunately, as you noticed, it is not possible to share folders within a sandboxed app folder. We plan to remove this restriction in the coming months.
