Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Note: I just created a new App Key/Secret for my App to - I'm now using the App Folder permission instead of Full Permission (which I believe is way less scary for users to grant permission and appropriate for my App too). This flow used to work with my old App Key/Secret.
I have a shared_link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hyt61zo702g3c5c/AACT5_YdGoZiEyYt4yI6Oolaa?dl=0
I can access it without being logged in at all. You should be able to as well.
I have an access token, and make a request to https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder
I get the 4 files in that folder, one of which looks like:
So next I make a request to https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file with args:{"url":"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hyt61zo702g3c5c/AACT5_YdGoZiEyYt4yI6Oolaa?dl=0","path":"/Amazing Grace.pro"}
And I get:
{"error_summary": "shared_link_access_denied/", "error": {".tag": "shared_link_access_denied"}}
[Note: the documentation on http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html is missing the type def for the arg to
sharingGetSharedLinkFile]
@Greg-DB who's been helpful
Thanks for the report! This looks like this may just be an issue on our side. We'll look into it. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this from the team.
Any updates by chance? Confirmation that this is a bug vs by design would help me.
Seems like a punishment for picking a better permission model atm 😉
I don't have an update on this from the team yet. I'll follow up here once I do.
Facing the same error. Any updates?
@mkamalkayani No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this issue to share.
@Greg-DB I got it working by creating a new app with full access scope.
A year after, is there any update on this? @Greg-DB
@akunbeben No, I don't have any news on this.
