dropbox API error: SharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))

Hello

I am trying to create weblinks for files on my dropbox account.

print(dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings("/Apps/Noemiephotos/test.jpg").url)

I am getting this error: SharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))

I also tried "/test.jpg" since the app only as permission to its folder. But it makes no difference

Hi @EstherCD,

Are you sure the particular file is on place? 🤔 Is the same result when you use the API Explorer?

You can check what's there with listing of content (again, using API Explorer). Use the same token (otherwise the context could differs)!

What's the result? 🧐

A 'path/not_found' error like this should indicate that there was nothing found at the specified path. When using an API app with the "app folder" access type like this, the app will only be able to access the contents of the special app folder that it's connected to. In that case, the app should use paths relative to that app folder, meaning it shouldn't send the "/Apps/Noemiephotos" portion. The path "/test.jpg" would be correct for a file named "test.jpg" in the root of the connected app folder.

Здравко's suggestion of checking the file listing is a good idea to validate what's in the app folder that the app is connected to.
