files/list_folder API returns no entries after using new Shared Links
With the new Shared Links released recently I am now getting an empty list of files available at the Shared Link URL. I am calling the `files/list_folder` API endpoint with the `shared_link` specified as a URL (per https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder ). Previously, the `entries` returned would have the list of files available at the shared link. Now I just get an empty array. I have confirmed the files are there, and have created new Share Links on folders I previously shared without issue, and they are now broken.
Can you please either fix this issue or inform me how I am supposed to view the contents of these Shared Links now?
This should be fixed now. Please let us know if you're still seeing any issues. Thanks!

Hi
We are using dropbox.files.SharedLink with dropbox.files_list_folder to download shared links, and it stopped working since last night. we are getting empty list for "entries" while the folder does have some files. Below is the code:
links = ["https://www.dropbox.com/xx/xx/xxxxxxxxxxx&dl=0"]
dropbox = dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_access_token=access_token, oauth2_refresh_token=refresh_token, app_key=app_key, app_secret=app_secret)
filecount = {}
all_files = []
for link in links:
filecount[link] = 0
shared_link = dropbox.files.SharedLink(url=link)
entries = dropbox1.files_list_folder(path='', shared_link=shared_link, limit=2000)
while True:
filecount[link] += len(entries.entries) # ***here entries.entries is an empty list
if not entries.has_more:
break
entries = dropbox1.files_list_folder_continue(entries.cursor)
print(filecount)Thank you
