HELP :(
{"Value should match pattern '\\A(?:(/(.|[\\r\\n])*|id:.*)|(rev:[0-9a-f]{9,})|(ns:[0-9]+(/.*)?))\\z'\r\nParameter name: path"}
- That error indicates that the path you're using doesn't exist in your account.
Note that if you're using an app with the "app folder" permission, that path would be relative to the root of the special app folder created for your app, under
/Apps/<app folder name>' by default. Does your app have the app folder permission? You can browse your app folder on the Dropbox web site: https://www.dropbox.com/ (as well as using ListFolder as I mentioned earlier.)
If you are using an app folder app, you can move whatever content you want into that app folder. (Or, register another app for the full Dropbox permission if you need that instead.)
You can check your existing app or create a new one on the App Console:

You actually need to tell us whats up - Spoiler
heres my code: try { var result = await dbx.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync(@"E:/Dropbox/iCodesStorageDropbox/H11018304_MMCH/CF1- TR18-0000005-121212-JOSESAPANZAAMIDO.enc", null); var url = result.Url; MessageBox.Show(url); } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); } - MarkYes, but you've not actually said WHAT you are trying to do.
We cannot help or even point you in the right direction if we dont know what you are wanting to do / how you are trying to do it etc.
Remember we are not sitting next to you. We cannot see your screen. I want to get my file dropbox link im using c# and Dropbox api
this is my c# code :
try { var result = await dbx.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync(@"E:/Dropbox/iCodesStorageDropbox/H11018304_MMCH/CF1- TR18-0000005-121212-JOSESAPANZAAMIDO.enc", null); var url = result.Url; MessageBox.Show(url); } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); }And this error message will show :
{"Value should match pattern '\\A(?:(/(.|[\\r\\n])*|id:.
|(rev:[0-9a-f]{9,})|(ns:[0-9]+(/.?))\\z'\r\nParameter name: path"}- MarkGreat, that makes more sense.
I'm going to move this to the API forum area where hopefully somebody with a clue about programming can help! - Greg-DB

iCodes I see that you're trying to call CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync but it's failing because you're not providing a valid 'path' value. You're supplying a local path (starting with the local drive letter "E:/", and so on). When using the Dropbox API though, the paths you use should be relative to the root of the Dropbox (or app folder root if you're using an app registered for the app folder permission).
So, your path value should lookg like "/iCodesStorageDropbox/H11018304_MMCH/CF1- TR18-0000005-121212-JOSESAPANZAAMIDO.enc".
You can retrieve valid path values from the API itself, e.g., from Metadata.PathLower, as returned from ListFolderAsync, for instance.
