      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am trying to fetch the content of a file(untitled.paper) using API:&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file" target="_blank"&gt;https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But I am getting the below shared error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to get the content of a shared file?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;{
    "error_summary": "unsupported_link_type/.",
    "error": {
        ".tag": "unsupported_link_type"
    }
}&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1757590"&gt;@akanshikumari&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As noted in &lt;A title="Download the shared link's file from a user's Dropbox" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file&lt;/A&gt; documentation:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;Download the shared link's file from a user's Dropbox.&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;In other words, you can use this access point to download... downloadable files only. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt; The file you're trying to download is NOT a downloadable one, it is exportable!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As noted in the same documentation a bit further (error messages):&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;unsupported_link_type&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;EM&gt;Void&lt;/EM&gt; This type of link is not supported; use files.export instead.&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;In other words, you can use &lt;A title="Export a file from a user's Dropbox" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-export" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;/2/files/export&lt;/A&gt; to export some non downloadable file. Unfortunately, you cannot do this on link and that's why you need to save the pointed file in accessible Dropbox account (temporary is enough) using &lt;A title="Save the data from a specified URL into a file in user's Dropbox" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;/2/files/save_url&lt;/A&gt;. Let's hope this imperfection will be fixed - i.e. direct export to be possible on link (as is already through web view).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1757590"&gt;@akanshikumari&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Здравко is correct; the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to do this directly, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The path fields are "optional", meaning they are not guaranteed to be set. The path fields will not be set if the file is not mounted in the connected account. In your screenshot, the path fields are not set, meaning they are not mounted in the account for the access token you're using, and so there is no path value to return.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
