Dropbox root folder path variants home and work
I found Dropbox's web interface has two types of folders at the root level: 'home' and 'work'. What is the difference between these? Can I use any API to determine which folder is being used?
Takashi Homma Thanks for the context. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way of constructing those non-shared web site URLs, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Dropbox StaffTakashi Homma It sounds like you're referring to the /home and /work routes on the Dropbox web site. The Dropbox API doesn't use those; for information on interacting with different files/folders on the Dropbox API, I recommend reading the File Access Guide and Team Files Guide.
Ah, yes I meant a root part of URL path. And I want to make a link to uploaded files.
https://www.dropbox.com/home/foo/bar.txt
https://www.dropbox.com/work/foo/bar.txt
I understand that it is recommended to create a shared link when making a link pointer to a file. However, I want to avoid this because creating shared links generates tons of noise in the activity log and external sharing log.
This is a difficult problem.
