    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the report. I'll ask the team to fix up that error handling so it returns a proper error in that kind of case.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Unhelpful error on "sharing/share_folder" API call with malfolrmed path.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Unhelpful-error-on-quot-sharing-share-folder-quot-API-call-with/m-p/544528#M26017</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;When calling the `sharing/share_folder` endpoint with a path that contains disallowed characters, for example that ends with a backslash "\", the endpoint won't return a WriteError (malformed_path) but rather a HTTP error 500 (internal Dropbox error). This is not particularly helpful since it does not allow us to distinguish between actual backend errors and invalid input.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;According to the documentation on Team Spaces and looking at the actual behaviour of the&amp;nbsp;`sharing/share_folder` endpoint, a call with a non-existing path will create the specified folder. I would therefore expect that similar `WriteError`s as for `files/create_folder` should be returned in some cases.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you'd like to look into the actual requests which I made to test this, the latest request id is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
