Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks! Can you double check this sample is for a 'shared_link_access_denied' error though? This sample has a 401 status code, but errors like 'shared_link_access_denied' would be expected to have a 409 status code. A 401 indicates an authorization issue, like an invalid or expired access token, for example. In any case, you should check the response body for the error message to see the cause.

Thanks, that's helpful. Please try again but using an access token for an app with the "full Dropbox" access type instead of "app folder". There's currently a bug that can cause this error on this endpoint when calling with an access token for an app folder app.
