Can't download file from a password protected shared folder - 'shared_link_access_denied'
Hi
I'm trying to download a file with API from a subfolder of a password protected shared folder using the 'get_shared_link_file' function and but I'm receiving: 'shared_link_access_denied'.
I am providing the shared folder's password and the password is correct as I can access the folder and its subfolders and download the file if accessing via browser.
Example of the 'get_shared_link_file' parameters that I'm sending in the request:
"url":"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/blablabla?dl=0"
"path":"/PATH/TO/FILE/file.pdf"
"link_password":"password"I have also tried the Dropbox API Explorer and the result is the same: 'shared_link_access_denied'.
What could be the problem?
