shared_link_access_denied when trying to access a shared file using the v2 api (status 409)

info:  the dropbox folder is in another users' account; I can access the file in question via the browser, even when I am not logged in to dropbox myself, by supplying the link_password when prompted...

      overlookmotel I'm afraid I don't have any news on this. This is still open with engineering, but I'll bring it up with them again and follow up here if/when I have anything to report.

        Thanks very much for coming back.

        Could you possibly also enquire if there is any workaround in the meantime?
