URL for Folder / Folder URL

David Owens

After seaching I did not find reference to this topic...

 

So, in support of a highly organized system (using workspaces w/ folders), well-documented work processes and efficient execution of work tasks, it would be nice to link directly to a Smartsheet Folder using a URL.  Is it possible to link directly to a folder located within a workspace using a URL without using API functionality?

 

What I know:

1.     1.  'Properties/Workspace Propeties/Secure Sheet Link' provides URL for Workspaces
2.     2. 'Properties/Folder Properties' DOES NOT provide a URL to the folder; instead, the 'Folder ID' is provided with reference to use with API
3.  
6. Thanks in advance!

Good question! There is not currently a way to link to a folder. Just sheets and workspaces. I'll pass this request along to our Product team!

Here's how to get the URL for a particular folder:

 

Every sheet has its own URL.  For example, I have a sheet "Request for Info" in a client folder "LastName, FirstName."  The URL for that sheet is: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/home?lx=NcQD_jXFrR3r5cWuMtAHkg.  The client folder has a Folder ID of 5153350569224068.  If I replace the "lx=NcQD_jXFrR3r5cWuMtAHkg" part of the sheet URL with "=5153350569224068", I can link directly to the folder instead of linking to the specific sheet.  Therefore, the folder URL is "https://app.smartsheet.com/b/home?=5153350569224068."
