Whenever you get a 400 error like this, be sure to print out the response body for a more specific error message.
To download a file from inside a folder when you have a shared link to the folder though, you should use the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint. You would specify the shared link to the folder in the "url" parameter, and the relative sub-path to the file you want to download in the "path" parameter.
