Hi 1575475,
In such a case calling /2/files/get_metadata will let you know you shared folder ID (sharing_info.shared_folder_id) and... you can continue from now on, I believe. 😉
Good luck.
Hi Здравко,
thank you. In the mean time I already was evaluating this endpoint, but unfortunately another problem occurred: No job is running (even after polling for about 10 Minutes or so), job id - of course - is present.
Setting for /2/sharing/share_folder: "force_async":false
Any suggestions?
Thank you and best regards,
Jan

I'm not aware of any explicit time limits. 🤔 For sure 10 mins should be enough. You can force such a query to be async, but no opposite! Setting "force_async" to false (by the way the default value) will just not force it be async, but without guarantees for synchronous execution. You should always check is the execution synchronous or asynchronous (if not forced) and when asynchronous, wait for complete or error. You should poll using /2/sharing/check_job_status; what does it return?
