query related to shared_folder_id

Our app saves all its data in dropbox folder by syncing and all folders are shareable hence containing share_folder_id. Now due to some reason root of all those shareable folders had to be changed, now using share_folder_id of those old folders is giving malformed_path error.

So my question is do I have to reshare every folder to get new shared_folder_id to resolve this error 'malformed_path'? 

do shared_folder_id contain path info ?

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you share a sample API request and response that is giving you trouble? (Just be sure to redact the access token.) Thanks in advance!
