2/files/get_metadata 409 path/not_found
We have been seeing the following 409 error recently on multiple customers where get_metadata fails with 409 path/not found. But later when diagnosing the problem the same call works fine. Is there a...
We have had multiple instances of this, where for eg. in a Team folder on which a Group had access, a user who was always part of this group uploads a file, we get the event and the fileId, and we try to run get_metadata on the file Id, with as-user as the same user, it was failing with 409 path not found.
What information would you need the next time we run into the same issue?

Dropbox StaffI just double checked this, and again there doesn't seem to have been an issue here. It's important to keep in mind that users/shared folder owners can move around content, and change permissions, at any point in time. It's also possible for any particular user to not actually be a member of a team folder (or of a group with access to a team folder).
For example, a user can upload a file in a shared folder, and then someone else move that file to a different shared folder that the user doesn't have access to (yet, perhaps).
