From your description, I understand that you registered an API app with the "app folder" permission, resulting in the "app folder" in your account then you connected the app.
Unfortunately, app folders are incompatible with shared folders, meaning you can't share an app folder (except as a link, like you mentioned), put a shared folder or team folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared folder or team folder.
Instead, if you need to use the API with shared folders or team folders, you'll need to use the "full Dropbox" permission, as opposed to the app folder permission. You can find more information about app permissions here.
You can register another app with the desired permission here.
