The sharing_list_file_members method is for listing the members of a shared file, and doesn't support listing the members of a shared folder. Accordingly when you call it for a shared folder, it fails with 'access_error/is_folder' like this.

 

To list the members of a shared folder, you should instead use sharing_list_folder_members and sharing_list_folder_members_continue.
