Get file path from chooser dropin

I have implemented Dropbox chooser on my page. Now when the user selects a file, I want to get metadata about the chosen file. The metadata api requires path parameter, which is not present in the output from chooser. is there a way to get file path from the chooser output?

There is now an API to get metadata from links:

If the API is made with appropriate authentication, the path information is also included.

  • Dropbox API V2: path_lower
  • Dropbox API V1: contents.path

No, unfortunately the Chooser doesn't currently offer the file metadata/path like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.
