Invalid shared folder id

[emeraldmedia]

Hi there

Im integrating the ability to share a folder with people that signup to my system

Basically I got the shared_folder_id.

Via here : https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder

I get the id of my folder :

"id": "id:OnI0Xzba6WsAAAAAAAE0Hg"

However when I call

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member

I get ‘Invalid shared folder id’

Anyone know what’s wrong ?

thanks !!

It looks like you're attempting to use the file/folder ID for the shared folder as the shared folder ID. Note that file/folder IDs (commonly labeled 'id') are different than shared folder IDs (commonly labeled 'shared_folder_id').

You can get the shared folder ID for a shared folder from a number of places on the API, such as /2/files/get_metadata or /2/files/list_folder[/continue], where it is returned as FolderMetadata.sharing_info.shared_folder_id. Or, you can get it from /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue], where it is returned as SharedFolderMetadata.shared_folder_id.
