That error message indicates that the call failed because that /2/sharing/get_file_metadata endpoint doesn't support apps with the "app folder" access type, as noted in the documentation.

I don't have context on your use case, but for reference, if just you want to create a shared link for the uploaded file, you should use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings instead anyway. That is supported for apps with app folder access type.

Can you print out the response body? It should contain a more specific error message.
