what am I doing wrong?
Hi Conners,
The only wrong thing you are doing is following the outdated article. "long lived token" can't get issued anymore. Newly issued access tokens are always short lived. 🤷 That's it.
If you want long term access you can consider refresh token usage. 😉
Hope this helps.
Add: why don't you use /2/users/get_current_account instead?

hi, thanks for the reply, i am more than happy to get short life tokens but I cannot find any refernce material out there, why is that?
edit: I see your link is information on an alternate call however when I call it I get
Error in call to API function "sharing/add_folder_member": Your API app is an "App Folder" app. It is not allowed to access this API function
however at the permissions level I already have everything ticked

You can take a look on Dropbox API v2 documentation for available access points and their use in curl. For guide how you can use long term account access using API look on here.
Add: You can't share anything when your restricted your application in an application specific folder. If you need to manage users sharing, you have to recreate the application with proper access type (it's not a matter of preferences and you can't do it there).
