export shared dropbox files which are not downloadable

Is there a way to export shared files whose is_downloadable is False?

get_shared_link_file is giving an unsupported link error as expected.

    The files_export method is only meant for use with files actually within the connected account. It will not be able to find files that are not within the connected account, such as files that the account only has access to as a "received" file. I'll send this along as a feature request for a way to do this, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

      but the files that I receive from list_received_files endpoint are giving an error 

      {
        "error_summary": "path/not_found/...",
        "error": {
          ".tag": "path",
          "path": {
            ".tag": "not_found"
          }
        }
      }

      when files_export is called with id as input
