Invalid shared folder ID when trying to mount

Hi! I have a shared link from account A pointing to a folder that I'm trying to mount in account B using the dropbox node SDK. This is what I'm doing:

  1. Get folder ID for shared link: client.sharingGetSharedLinkMetadata({url: sharedFolderUrl})
    This gives me an ID (ns:{identifier})

 

2. Mount shared folder: client.sharingMountFolder({shared_folder_id: 'ns:{identifier}'}) })


I expected this to do the equivalent of accepting the request to join a folder but this gives me the attached error. Any idea why?

    Resolved, had to strip the ns: out and just pass in the identifier as the shared_folder_id
