Hi foongzy,
It's good idea to dump your var 'filename'. I tried to reproduce your issue but everything works (despite sharing_create_shared_link is deprecated already). Let's see if the filename is some special case.
PS: By the way something aside - it's time to think of moving to use refresh token! No long lived access token is issued already, but only short lived. If you need to reissue your access token, it wouldn't work anymore. Just keep in mind.

Hi @Здравко,
Yea, I tried the same code in jupyter notebook and it worked, that's why found it weird. I did more digging and changed sharing_create_shared_link to
sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings and it works now. Not too sure what hidden issues prevented sharing_create_shared_link from working. And yes, I am using refresh token to initialise Dropbox. Thanks for the help and tips!
