10 years agoHi Mark, the known issue it sounds like you're refrrring to is an unexpected 403 error from /1/view links, which isn't related to the code you shared.
It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected result from getSharedLinkFile. You don't seem to be checking the error for that call in your code though. Can you print that out?
Also, for reference, if you're trying to get the existing shared link for a particular path, you should use listSharedLinks with path as the path to the file or folder and direct=true. The getSharedLinkFile method method takes a shared URL, not a path, and gives a download for the linked file. This is likely what the issue is, as it appears you're passing a path to this method.
