In short, you'll get that if you try to use a setting that isn't available to the account for the access token you're using. Free accounts can't set link passwords or expirations, for example.
Thanks for your information and that helps a lot!
I got another problem and it would be great if you could help with it:
I've developing a website where clients would request for access to certain files/folders. In this case I wish I could generate shared links with passwords and expire date for each of them differently, say they would each get a unique accessible link with password which would be valid within certain dates.
However, I would get shared link exists errors when I try to generate sharing links for files/folders that have one already.
So do you provide any solutions targeting this scenario?

ShawnLyu It's not possible to create more than one distinct shared link per single file or folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
That being the case, you'd need to either use the same shared link for each client, or make a copy of the file or folder for each client (and make a shared link for each copy).
