Dropbox Community ModeratorThe SharingFileLinkMetadata.path_lower (as returned by sharingGetSharedLinkMetadata) is "only be present only if the linked file is in the authenticated user's dropbox.". So, it sounds like the linked file doesn't exist in the account that you're connected to.
In that case, you'd need to supply the path yourself. For instance, perhaps you would want to build one using the returned file name in SharingFileLinkMetadata.name if you want it to have the same name as the linked file.
Thank You for your response. But the user account that I used is an authenticated user dropbox account.
Do you think should I be doing something else to get path_lower from the shared link url?

When you say "the user account that I used is an authenticated user dropbox account.", that doesn't necessarily meet the requirement.
In order to receive the path_lower value, the account for the access token you're using to make the call needs to be the same account as the one that created the shared link.
As you told me, the account for the access token which I am using to make the call is the same account as the one that created the shared link.
Is there any other way to upload images to shared link programmatically?
