    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm given a shared folder with the shared link information.&lt;STRONG&gt; Bare in mind, this folder is also public for anyone to view. I am specifically trying to see if shared link method works. I am also using Dropbox API v2.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Through the GUI I entered the shared link password, gained access to the shared folder, accessed the shared files, and downloaded them. I also don't need an account to do this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, when using the API &lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;/get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/STRONG&gt; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;/get_shared_link_file&lt;/STRONG&gt; I get the "access_denied" for both API calls.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;url, path, link_password are all correct and I made sure of it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I even tested different parameter values just to make sure.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also tried to programmatically implement it but get the same issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this perhaps due to a permissions settings on the person sharing the folder/files?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Are you using an API app registered with the "app folder" access type? There's currently a bug that results in this error when using this method with an access token for an app folder app. That's still open with engineering, but I don't have a timeline on a fix.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ah yeah that's why.&amp;nbsp;I will do a workaround this bug.&amp;nbsp;Thank you Greg for the response!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
