      Hi @Greg K.

      Has there been any progress with fixing this bug? I'd hoped to automate the download of a shared file using the Dropbox API but I'm also getting the 'shared_link_access_denied' error even though the password is correct. Is there any chance of escalating this?

      Thank you

        johntrenwith This is still open with engineering, though I still don't have an update on it yet. I'll bring this up with them again.
