Get folder links
Hello,
I've been tasked with creating shared folders for our team. Each team member will get their own folder that will contain files specific to them. I need a way to collect or create the shared...
Sorry I'm obviously not understanding the documentation because I keep getting an error.
The folder i want the link for is called test it's in the same directory as the python code.
the_link = dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings('/test', settings=None)
print(the_link)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\james\Dropbox\Project KMG Instructors\dropbox test.py", line 13, in <module>
the_link = dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings('/test', settings=None)
File "C:\Users\james\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\dropbox\base.py", line 4060, in sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings

dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('21aabc3f746b4a0ca5f079118eb3a353', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))
Sorry I'm new to all this.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe path, "/test" in your code here, should be referring to the path of the file or folder in the Dropbox account, not related to the location of the code you're running.
I recommend reading the File Access Guide for reference.
