I want to send a link to a folder to a friend, and I know I can get a shared link (which gives anyone with it view permissions) and...
The 'sharing_info' is only set on a folder if the folder is itself shared as a shared folder (or is inside a shared folder). Note that this is different than the kind of sharing offered by /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. Calling /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings for a folder will not make it a "shared folder"; it only creates a "shared link" for it.
To first share the folder as a shared folder, so that it will receive 'sharing_info' with a 'shared_folder_id' that you can then use with /2/sharing/add_folder_member, you should first call /2/sharing/share_folder.
I tried creating another folder in the Dropbox web client and choosing "Share with specific people" and got this, which is stuck:
Ok, so I tried another direction.
I sent a shared link from user #1 to user #2 but then trying to access it as user #2:
{"error_summary": "shared_link_access_denied/..", "error": {".tag": "shared_link_access_denied"}}
