    Are you using an app registered for the "app folder" access type? If so, it would only have access to contents of the special app folder that gets created for it. The folder in your screenshot isn't an an app folder though, so you'd need to use an app with the "full Dropbox" access type to access that. You can't switch the access type on an existing app, so you'd need to register another one here and switch to using token(s) for that one.
