Api error "LookupError" for sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings
Hi all,
I am new to dropbox api. My problem is whenver I try to create an app folder from the app console, the connection never works and I keep receiving an error regarding to the path, see below:
ApiError: ApiError('187007dde9fb433ea831afd60b273b83', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))
I am fully aware that app folder can only access the files inside the the folder of the main app. Hence, I embedded the file I want to access inside the app folder in dropbox . I am using the following code:
import dropbox dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(<app token>) shared_link_metadata = dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings("/Apps/App_Name/example.xlsx") print (shared_link_metadata.url)
Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?
Your help is much appreciated,
Thanks
Hi arch2020,
Try transform the path from "/Apps/App_Name/example.xlsx" to "/example.xlsx". Is this helps? 🤔
Try to explain why. 😉

It worked like magic. Thanks, it seems that with app folder, there is no need for referencing the name of the app, as the default location of the app, will always be the name of the app folder. very grateful for your help, you saved me tons of tons and unnecessary hustle.

Actually, the app' folder forms a namespace that become a root folder for access from the application side. 😉
