Same issue here. I have been using the same code and shared link for years, which stopped working two days ago.
This curl request, as generated by https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder should work as fas as I can tell:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [redacted]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"path":"","shared_link":{"url":"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6kzom2lt4ahhr2c/AAAGC0_LBkp5htv1X8tUyOl9a"}}'
But the response has an empty entries array, and has_more is false. The files in the shared link show up just fine in a browser.

Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing this issue. Does the Dropbox support team monitor these forums or do I need to contact support via our business account?

nabeards, In general it's monitored, but during weekend this monitoring is very weak. So it's likely, any move related to things mentioned here, to be performed no earlier than Monday (or even latter). Of course, Business accounts are served better, so if you want you can speed this up, probably. 😉

I won't be able to get our account admin to do anything until Monday anyway, so hopefully the support team sees this and can let us know how long for a fix. Our operations are at a standstill until then.
