One thing that comes to mind is that if your app is registered for the "app folder" permission, your paths should be relative to the app's app folder, not the Dropbox root. Further, in that case you won't be able to access folders or files in the Dropbox root.
Otherwise, it's hard to say what the issue may be offhand. If you're still having trouble, can you open a ticket with the app name, user ID, and code you're using with the real values? Thanks in advance!

Ok thank you, i will try little more, so will in case ticket the problem. As i can see looking behavior on dropbox.com, for the /Apps folder i can create a shared link, while i can't for 'root folder inside Apps', related to the app and always available.
Can i create_shared_link_with_settings for the /Apps folder, isn't it?- Greg-DB8 years agoDropbox StaffYou should be able to create a shared link for any file or folder on dropbox.com. Likewise, you should be able to create a shared link for any file or folder using the API, as long as your app can access it. (App folders can't see items outside their app folder.)
Also, note that "shared links" are a different feature than "shared folders". You can't make app folders into shared folders.- axew38 years agoCollaborator | Level 8
