I have not found in the reference a method to, using the OneDrive SDK on WP8.1, to create a new OneDrive folder. I am using looking for a method for backing up and syncing across devices and platforms.
You can create a folder in OneDrive using REST: http://onedrive.github.io/items/create.htm
It shows how to create both a file or a folder in OneDrive.

The kind of Dropbox link you're referring to isn't a "direct" link, but rather a "shared" link, where the link itself points to an HTML preview page, where the user can download the file if they want. You can find information on this feature here:
https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/view-only-access
Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, downloading, and sharing files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
Dropbox does offer a .NET SDK in particular:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet
To create a shared link for a file or folder using the .NET SDK, you would use the CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync method:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync_1.htm
Basically, what I would like to do is to create a link from a web application that will open a Dropbox file from appropriate Dropbox native app. Google Drive for example allows you to re-format the unique URL for a file such as https://docs.google.com/blablabla which you can retrieve from their API, into googledrive://docs.google.com/blablabla and lets you open the file in Google Drive native app.
I have tried dropbox:// URLs with no success, and have not found any existing conversation on this despite running cross multiple conversations on the same subject for Google Drive or Evernote. Please let me know if it is possible to somehow generate this via API or based on the folder structure etc.
Thanks!
I want to integrate OneDrive in my App and want to add a functionality to share data with other user using the public folder's on Onedrive. I can see that OneDrive provides the functionality to create a Link to folder and files. But I cant get the reference on how to create it programmatically. Also once the link to folder or file is created ,is there a way to access it using APIs ?
Please some one advice.
regards

Im using drive api sample code for accessing google drive files in my app.But i cannot access the files that were shared with me.Do i need to change scope of google drive api in ios to access all files shared with me?
To get a list of the files shared with you, you can use the drive.files.list request with the sharedWithMe filter.
In my application users will give a url to their shared dropbox folder. When it is given I want to grab the images in that url and download to a folder in my application.
Is this achievable?
I've tried to do this in SharpBox. I've managed to open a connection to dropbox storage through SharpBox and successfully connect to my public folders.
But I couldn't find a method which accepts a shared dropbox url and download files from that url.
Thanks
This article might be helpful, don't know enough about the edge cases in your particular use though.
