Got error message from Dropbox when Downloading the rar files

Got the following error message from Dropbox when Downloading the rar files:

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

[Greg-DB]

The path/restricted_content error is expected from /2/files/download for files with restricted content, per the documentation:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download

If you believe you have files that have been incorrectly flagged, please contact support.

I can not create a shared link to this file, ab.rar.

This is an empty RAR file, created by WinRAR.

Type `od -x ab.rar`

Output:

I'm afraid I can't help with potentially incorrectly flagged files, so if you believe you have files that have been incorrectly flagged, please contact support.
