Does the 'too_many_shared_folders' error refer to sharing a view link?

Bran Hue

I'm integrating with the Dropbox API and want to use /create_shared_link_with_settings to create a public folder view link with an expiration date so anyone who has this link can open it. However, I see that this endpoint can produce a too_many_shared_folders error. As I understand, this error refers to sharing a folder across Dropbox accounts, but how about a view link? If I create many public view links that do not require a Dropbox account, are there limits on this?

If it also refers to the view link, will deleting resolve the problem?

Hello @Bran Hue, I have spoken to my team, and the error message “too_many_shared_folder” will occur if you attempt to create a shared link with the access level as editor using the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint, specifically when the target Dropbox folder contains too many shared folders. The error message will not occur when creating a shared link with the access level as viewer.

If you are having an difficulty with creating a shared link, please let us know and we will be happy to help!
