Hi Team,

Is there an api to email the shared link to a list of users? I was able to generate the shared link for a file, but was trying to share this link with my application users.

Please find below the screenshot (of the email shared link feature) from box UI which Im trying to mimic via box api/sdk:

    Hi  - The feature you've observed is only available within our Web App UI. With our API, you can obtain the shared link by calling the File or Folder endpoint and then build your own process to faciliate emailing a shared link link.

    Any chance this has changed? Would be very useful to be able to implement this for an iOS app so that the application will share the link independently of the user having a functional mail account on the device. Thanks!
