Dropbox Community ModeratorCan you clarify what you mean by "a shared folder so that the same app on different devices can share the data"? If the different devices are connected to the same account, you don't need a "shared" folder. In that case, just using the app folder permission should be sufficient. You can make subfolders inside the app's app folder as necessary, and all devices linked to the same account will see them.
Otherwise, if you mean you do need to share data across different accounts, then the app folder permission won't be sufficient, as app folders can't be shared, contain shared folders, or be contained in shared folders. In that case, you'll need to use a different permission:

Beyond that, I'm not sure I follow your question. First, which SDK are you using? If you're using the Sync SDK, you may want to use the Core SDK instead, as the Sync SDK is deprecated, and the Core SDK gives you more control.
In any case, if you still need help, please follow up and post the SDK/version you're using, the relevant code snippet(s), and any errors/output.
