Trouble with link and setting expiry date
I am creating a .NET app and all is working well so far with v2.1. I can share a link, but if try to add an expiry date for the link it fails at the "CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync" method, with ...
Hi Gregory,
Many thanks for your response and advice, and you were indeed correct, so I have now upgraded from the free account to Pro.
However, I now have a new problem, which is "Error in call to API function \"sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings\": request body: settings.expires: time data '2016-04-24T00:00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'"}.
As far as I can see, the problem is arising in the Dropbox.Api.SharedLinkSettingsEncoder class, which has a DateTime value passed in, and where the "expires" value is:
{{"path":"/Chrysanthemum.jpg","settings":{"expires":"2016-04-24T00:00:00"}
Using the API Explorer and reading the error message, it appears that there should be a "Z" appended to the time in the settings, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
Not sure if it has anything to do with being a UK time format.
