OneDrive: Save shortcuts to files and folders shared by Copy Link - onedrive

We use Office 365 and OneDrive at work. We often share files and folders by generating a link and sharing it rather than using the direct share function. We do it this way so we can include more context and information in an email with a link to the relevant file(s).
When doing that the shared items don't show up in the other users' Shared With Me section. It's challenging to find those files again in the future, we have to search through our emails for where it was originally sent.
Is there a way to save shortcuts to files and folders shared by link?

Listing folders inside google drive using php api

I am using google Drive api ($files = $drive->files->listFiles ($parameters)) and it seems to return files that are not in folders, how can I access folders and their children and so of.
Files.list returns all files that's contained in your Drive API folder including those within subfolders. I've tried it myself. What maybe happening to you is that you have many files and for you to access the file, you need to use nextPageToken. And make sure you set the pageSize to 50 to display more files at a time.

Alternative to Dropbox public folder for navigatable links

I am an iOS developer and, until recently, had been using Dropbox's public folder as a makeshift server for testing purposes. This is because public folders had static URLs and the subfolders and files they contain could be accessed directly though the file tree (ex: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/xxxxxxx/audioTests/). This was useful when iterating through a variable array of files, as I could just specify the folder url and append the individual file names (ex: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/xxxxxxx/audioTests/music.mp3).
As of this month, however, dropbox has discontinued this feature for free users and is planning to remove it for paid users later this year. Does anyone know of a (preferably free) alternative that offers this same kind of navigatable public folder? I need a minimal amount of space, as I will just be using it for testing purposes. All of the other similar services that I know of, such as Google Drive and OneDrive, only offer links to individual files and folders.

Is it possible to know the folder content? OneDrive

I wanna try OneDrive Api for Android and I was taking a look at the methods and possibilities this Api offers on this link and this other one but I don't see any way of listing the files a folder contains.
My App would need to upload some files to OneDrive, always using the same folder as root, say /MyFolder. The problem is that it only knows this root folder and all its content must be found out by means of recursive calls, that is, I list the files contained in /MyFolder and check if it's a folder or a file and in the first case list the files again it contains and so on.
Am I missing something or this Api doesn't provide such thing?
The Json object returned for a query against a Folder should contain a "data" property that is an array of children for the folder. You can see this in the interactive SDK (http://isdk.dev.live.com/dev/isdk/default.aspx) by playing with the "Reading Folder Properties" API.

Lotus Notes create email folder

Goal: excel macro that creates a new lotus notes email subfolder
I am totally new when it comes to VBA and Lotus Notes in general.
I would appreciate if smb would indicate some directions in achieving my goal, because until know I wasn't able to find anything similar.
1) how do I connect to needed mail (regarding this I saw some info, but a clear code example would be great)
2) how do I create the subfolder with a specified name and indicate the folder where it should be created
There is no API for a folder architechture because there really is no folder architecture. Nested folders are an illusion just based on the name of the folder. I.e., the folder name "folder1\folder2" indicates that folder2 appears to be inside folder1, but the structure is flat as far as all APIs are concerned.
The NotesDatabase.EnableFolder() method will create a folder. (It's a dumb name for the method!) Existing folders can be accessed via NotesDatabase.GetView() method because from the high-level API point of view Folder and Views are treated as equals. The NotesView.Remove() method can be used to delete a folder. The NotesView.Name property is read/write.

Saving program shared data in Exchange Public Folder

I have a question reffering to Public Folders on Exchange Server.
I have an application (Outlook Com Addin) that need to share settings amonge every Exchange User that have access to Public Folders.
I was thinking about storing settings in MAPI assotiated message (hidden MAPI message). Wirting\Reading data from this message works fine, but I don't have good place to save this item.
I am looking from some sort of global folder or root folder that every user have. I tried All Public Folders folder, but noone can store any item there. I was also thinking about NON_IPM_SUBTREE but I am not sure which folder can be used to write there something.
Maybe someone faced this problem already and have some thoughts about this it?
And to make things clear. I am using Extended MAPI, but if you know any solution that involves Outlook API, I would be interested in that too.
Best regards,
There are no predefined PF folders. Most installations will have "Outlook Security Settings", but that is about it.
There is also a set of hidden folders where Outlook stores f/b info.
Keep in mind that PF is optional as of Exchange 2007. Exchange 2010 does not install PF store by default.
