Dropbox API for Python: Can't Create Shared Link (CreateSharedLinkError, malformed path)
I'm having trouble getting a shareable link from a file through the Dropbox API. This is the entirety of my code: import os
import dropbox
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('access token')
myPath = os.path.join...

Dropbox StaffWhen you make a Dropbox API call like this and supply a path, you should supply the path to the remote file on Dropbox, relative to the root of the Dropbox account.
In the code you shared here, you're instead sharing a path to the local file, which isn't a valid path for the Dropbox API.
That is, based on the sample you shared, the path value should instead look like:
"/DUNESBURY NEW ITEM PICS/2019/01 January/Originals/Flowers/DSC_0247.NEF"
(You can get these values from elsewhere on the API, such as in Metadata.path_lower, e.g,. as returned by files_list_folder.)
