Remove Shared Folder Invitee
I've been working on Sharing of folders using the API, but can not see how you remove a member who has not added it to their dropbox
This is the message in the UI "name@domain.com has not added thi...
The /2/sharing/remove_folder_member endpoint (or corresponding native method) would be the right way to remove a member from a folder, whether or not they've mounted it. (Or, if operating on the recipient themselves, /2/sharing/relinquish_folder_membership.)
That 'no_explicit_access' error should indicate "The target member only has inherited access to the shared folder". For example, they only have access by virtue of having access to a higher level folder, meaning you can't remove just the lower folder.
Can you print out the full error object/message? The nested `MemberAccessLevelResult` may contain more useful information.
If that doesn't seem to be the case though, please share some sample calls that produce this unexpected error though so we can look into it.
Also, sharing individual files is a different piece of functionality than sharing folders, and sharing individual files does only support view-only access. For that, you can add members to files using /2/sharing/add_file_member, and remove them using /2/sharing/remove_file_member_2.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, and it was the parent that had the permission also.
I get the following error now :
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
X-Dropbox-Request-Id: 860311efbc28a9b13e0ee1bb5d4e7ddd
{"error_summary": "internal_error/.", "error": {".tag": "internal_error"}}
I am retrying and still fails. Does the request Id help?
Thanks
