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...

Yes, please do. I'm keen to integrate Dropbox into my product but this bug is a deal-breaker. Our clients want to password-protect their links, but our inability to download via Dropbox API means we have to advise them not to use Dropbox and go to use alternative services.

    This issue with calling /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file with a password is now fixed and should be working properly.

    Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
