Download file

[New_Horizons]

Hello!

I shared the folder:

Got the file id using the method:

/files/list_folder

I'm trying to download a file by id:

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <<api_token>>' \
  --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"id:xRv0UGd0k-AAAAAAAAACgA"}' 

The file is downloaded without problems.

I have a link to another folder

Got the file id using the method:

/files/list_folder

I'm trying to download a file by id:

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <<api_token>>' \
  --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"id:07Db0pnr9jAAAAAAAAAD8g"}' 

Download file does not work:

{"error_summary": "path/not_found/..", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "not_found"}}}

What could be the reason?

I need: Download the file "Прайс DAYSTAR NEW от 30.07 .xlsx" from the link

How is this best done?

Thank you.

P.S. I used google translate) Sorry.

To download a file using /2/files/download by specifying a file ID, the access token you're using needs to be for an account that has that file.

If you want to download a file from a different account using the shared link, you should use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file to do so:
