A 'route_access_denied' error should indicate that the call failed because the API route the app is trying to use is not publicly available.
If it appears you're receiving this error incorrectly though, please reply with the following so we can look into it:
- the name and version number of the SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
- 5-10 sample 'X-Dropbox-Request-Id' response header values for the error responses

Ashley B.15 Thanks, that's helpful. The /2/files/list_folder endpoint should certainly be publicly available so we'll look into this and follow up here once we have an update on this.
