FYI As requested in a recent email from dropbox, I've just converted our system to use the /search_v2 api and am experiencing this problem as well.

    rm2020 Thanks for the additional report. The team is aware of the issue and is looking into it. I recommend switching to using paths instead of IDs when calling /2/files/search_v2 to avoid this error.

      We need to do a previous get_metadata request to get the path and then filter by path.
