Share sub folders of app-folder
Hi,
I have saved data on dropbox via android app. Now i want to share it with my friends inside app only. But i could not get the metadata of the resource of other user.
I also tried to add members to the subfolders via below code,
List<AddMember> members = new ArrayList<AddMember>();
members.add(new AddMember(MemberSelector.email("************.*****@****com"), AccessLevel.EDITOR));
DropboxClientFactory.getClient().sharing().addFolderMember(
SharedPref.getInstance(context).getString(Constants.USER_ROOT_FOLDER_ID), members);
but it always says that *Yout API app is an "app folder" app. It is not allowed to access this API function.*
Please suggest if i can do it in any ways.

Currently, app folders are incompatible with shared folders, meaning you can't share an app folder, put a shared folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared folder.
Instead, if you need to use the API with shared folders, you'll need to use "full Dropbox" permission, as opposed to the app folder permission. You can find more information about app permissions here:

If you've already registered an app using the app folder permission, you can register another with the desired permission at:
