I'm glad to hear you were able to make progress on this.

For reference, you mentioned you are using the user endpoints, but are you using a "Dropbox Business API" app registration? If so, how are you constructing the API client object you're using?

Also, is your team signed up for any beta features? That can affect the behavior you see here.

I was just trying to keep it simple in referring to the end points as I can correlate that to a API call.    I am just using the .Net Dropbox API at the moment and not the Dropbox Business API.   Based on reading this ...

All my functionality works for the user's account and I am attempting to extend it to the Team Shares the user has access to.    

 

Currently I have the url to the share then the path to the file.  I can query GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync and it will tell me no shared link to the file exists.   I can even call CreatedSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync and it will also tell me no shared link to the file exists.  Problem I am having now is that the CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync only includes the path as the parameter and not the url so I don't know what to pass or how to create a shared link to the file so I can download it using the GetSharedLinkFileAsync.    

 

No we aren't sign up.  I've attepted to get information on being a technology/reseller partner but getting this working first has been my focus.

    Apologies for the bother, but I'm not sure I follow. Could you open a ticket with the relevant app and account ID here so I can check on your configuration so I can advise properly?
