list_shared_links says I have no shared links...but I do have them..,

To clarify, were you calling /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings with the "path" for that "Original" folder itself, or with a path for a file inside that folder? 

Note that the /2/sharing/list_shared_links works in the two different following ways:

• "If no path is given, returns a list of all shared links for the current user."
• "If a non-empty path is given, returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path."

So, supplying as path to a folder will not make it list the shared links for files inside that folder. If you want the shared links for a file, you need to specify the full path for the file.

Also, the variable anount of trailing periods are intentionally added by Dropbox, to discourage clients from doing exact string matching on these error string, in favor of prefix matching. This way, we can add nested errors without breaking clients.
