Hi xfoxhack,

Unfortunately, the type of API error you meet, is not yet included in Dropbox Python SDK supported error types for that call. Since there is not any additional error type fields (it's type void), as a workaround, you can catch the type 'ValidationError' and compare the content literally. In such a way you can introduce some support (as a patch) for that error in your application till official support if any.

Additional hack might be to put on top of your source (before any other Dropbox related method execution) on global place something like:

from dropbox import sharing as s
s.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError._banned_member = s.bv.Void()
s.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError._tagmap['banned_member'
  ] = s.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError._banned_member

Good luck.
