    Hello Bran Hue​, I have spoken to my team, and the error message “too_many_shared_folder” will occur if you attempt to create a shared link with the access level as editor using the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint, specifically when the target Dropbox folder contains too many shared folders.

    If you are having an difficulty with creating a shared link, please let us know and we will be happy to help!
