Hi,

I am trying to get the list of members of a shared folder programatically, using the python SDK.

I tried 

response = dbx.sharing_list_file_members('/shared_folder_name').

I am getting this error:

dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('50c5851add824ae9a2f8616e5ae67510', ListFileMembersError('access_error', SharingFileAccessError('is_folder', None)))

 

What am I missing?

Hi Vishnudev,

You are trying to check "shared folder". Ok, but why are you using file specific call (list file members)? 🧐 Better get the "shared_folder_id" (using contained folder list or similar) and apply it on call for folder members. 😉

Hope this helps.
