drop_share: Creates and returns a shared link to a file or folder.

In karthik/rdrop2: Programmatic Interface to the 'Dropbox' API

Creates and returns a shared link to a file or folder.

Description

Creates and returns a shared link to a file or folder.

Usage

drop_share(
  path = NULL,
  requested_visibility = "public",
  link_password = NULL,
  expires = NULL,
  dtoken = get_dropbox_token()
)

Arguments

path	Path in the user's Dropbox, relative to root
requested_visibility	Can be 'public', 'team_only', or 'password'. If the password option is chosen one must specify the 'link_password'. Note that for basic (i.e. free) Dropbox accounts, the only option is to publicly share. Private sharing requires a pro account.
link_password	The password needed to access the document if 'request_visibility' is set to password.
expires	Set the expiry time. The timestamp format is "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"). If no timestamp is specified, link never expires
dtoken	The Dropbox token generated by drop_auth. rdrop2 will try to automatically locate your local credential cache and use them. However, if the credentials are not found, the function will initiate a new authentication request. You can override this in drop_auth by pointing to a different location where your credentials are stored.
