SendFileShareLink

Shares files/folders securely with anyone, even non-members, using a web URL link. An email is sent by the system containing an encrypted web link, which when activated by recipients, will prompt them to Download the shared files or folders, or view files online, according to the parameters (options) given when calling the function. If the 'RecipientsEmailAddresses' element is equal to the value 'GENERALLINK', the function will return the FileShare URL Link without sending an email. This link can be used directly from any location, and the link behaves exactly like the way it does when sent in an email. Methods SendItemsELink, SendItemsELink2 and SendItemsELink3 will become obsolete once API clients migrate to SendFileShareLink method.
