Hm..🤔 To be honest I don't understand what you mean here, but if that doesn't work for you for some reason then using get_temporary_link wouldn't work too (the links are the same when direct link is selected in options). In both cases they expire in 4 hours (both are temporary).
About the error you got, check that the chooser and your application have the same access - the same account is authenticated, the same root is selected (in case of team account), application is NOT limited (to app folder for example), etc. If they have different "view" ability then it's normal something seen by one to stay invisible to other.
Good luck.

Hi FMRb,
Why you need to make this call (get_temporary_link) in addition at all? 🤔 Selecting direct link does the same - you'll get this link within chooser response (and faster, and simpler). 😉
Hope this helps.

I want the application to show the content even after refreshing the page, that won't work if I need to rely on the user selecting the file through the Dropbox chooser.

Thanks for suggesting to check if I was using the correct account. That was the problem, I was using a different account to request the `get_temporaty_link` compared to the Dropbox chooser.
