Hello again all,
I have again had some time to spend on this today and I'm a little confused.
I have created a folder, this appears in dropbox and is shared with me.
I next add some files and I can see them if i inspect the folder.
However if I attempt to share the folder with another user via email I get the error "bad_path/already_shared/.."
I am just calling the original code that created the folder and then shared it with the first user - me,. How do i add additional users to the share?

Dropbox StaffActually, re-reading what you posted itsrainman-
Once you have shared the folder via ShareFolderAsync() (what I think you're calling "creating" it) you do not need to call that method again. It's already shared (as the response you're getting implies). You just need to make the call to AddFolderMemberAsync() with any new members you want to share the folder with.
Can you confirm if you're getting the error as a result of additional calls to ShareFolderAsync()? If so, I think that's where the issue lies.
Thanks,
