500 on Approving Request Access to Shared link with invite only option

Hi,

 

I have a folder A which is created programmatically in Dropbox by a user A using my application. (Dropbox SDK )

Now if i create a link via using the rectangular icon with arrow with Invite only permission and can view privilege. Now when the user clicks request access button shown when clicking on the link Iam getting a Approve request. SO from my Dropbox web app im approving the request and facing a 500 error. Screenshot attached

    Hey REL_IT - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you let us know if the error persists after clearing your browser's cache or on another browser too?

     

    Also, is this issue related to your other post perhaps?

     

    Keep me posted!

      I didnt get any resolution related to other post. Iam trying to atleast invite or make people join to access the same.

       

      You mean asking to clear cache before approving or from the user's end who is requesting.

      Iam thinking about one more solution but i am facing bottle neck there. My App is using Dropbox sdk and also a long lived access token which is already stopped by dropbox for new generation. 

       

      My app also has share.write access as well in the admin console. But still when i try to create a link using createsharedlinkwithsettings method iam facing the following error "{"error":{".tag":"missing_scope","required_scope":"sharing.write"},"error_summary":"missing_scope/"}
      " .

       

      Note: APP is currently in production and in use and cant risk the loss of or forcing the current  long lived access token to expire by doing some action. So I'm stuck at that level else i would at least run a scheduler to generate link for a list of the folders atleast i need. Walter

        Hey REL_IT, thanks for clarifying! 

         

        It sounds like our API part of our Community would be able to help better with this, since we're talking about an app that you've created on your end. 

         

        I'm going to be moving your thread there, and an agent will take over, thank you!
