Expected Behavior

As a content manager I would like to be able to get direct download urls to embed them in my portal

Versions Used

Hi @Band-Aid ,

To get download url you just need to call:

$ box files:get ID

as shared-link is just a field of File

Hope this help, Artur

Thanks! Though I am getting an error trying to create a shared link, I was trying to create link but I get the following error. Am I doing something wrong here?

% box files:shared-links:create 123456 --access:open
Unexpected argument: --access:open

Please try that way:

 box files:shared-links:create 123456 --access open

as param values we should pass after a space or a =sign

Ah, thanks for pointing that out... I must be tired. Your docs clearly state to use =.

--access=access

Thanks again!
