If you're still seeing issues, please share a few sample requests/responses showing the failures for each endpoint that's failing for you so we can check on that. Please include headers, but redact any app secret/access token/refresh token. Thanks!

The same issue is on our server side. here we get same error using https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link

Please share a few samples for that (preferably as text). Thanks in advance!

 

By the way, /2/sharing/create_shared_link is deprecated in favor of /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings, so please switch to /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings when you can.

it give status in progress all the time. I can't share it right now but I think if you fix the main reason of problem all endpoints will continue work properly

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "it give status in progress all the time". The /2/sharing/create_shared_link endpoint doesn't have a return type or error like that. Did you mean to refer to a different endpoint?

 

Please do share a sample of whatever other issues you're seeing so we can be sure to check on the right thing for you. Thanks!
