Yes, this bug only affects apps with the "app folder" type, not the "full Dropbox" type.

 

And that's correct, the "app folder" versus "full Dropbox" type is selected when first registering the API app. There isn't a way to dynamically set or fall back on that, e.g., during the authorization flow. You could register one of each however and switch between them as needed though.

 

Anyway, I can't make any promises on a workaround, but I'll pass it along.

Update: the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata and /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoints (and corresponding methods in the SDKs) should now work when using an access token for an app with the app folder access type.
