    Are you sure you have both the right path, as well as the right namespace (in the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header)? I can't see the full values from your screenshot. 

    If you'd like us to check on this specifically for you, please feel free to open an API ticket with the full code (use the "Show Code" button), but please redact the access token.

Hi, thank you for the update. But I tried the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint and it only gives the error "path/not_found/" I tried with several files and folders. I know the paths are correct since I use the same paths for other API calls. 

(image link is broken, can not be displayed)

Maybe this is a bug on your end?

    Hi Greg thanks for the reply. You were right in pointing out the Dropbox-Api-Path-Root, as it is only specified for 1 folder in the root of the team folders. 

    This was the error, i had to run my tests inside that folder. I added a screenshot in case someone runs into the same error.

    thank you
