--dropbox-shared-files
Instructs rclone to work on individual shared files.
In this mode rclone's features are extremely limited - only list (ls, lsl, etc.) operations and read operations (e.g. downloading) are supported in this mode. All other operations will be disabled.
Config: shared_files
Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_SHARED_FILES
Type: bool
Default: false
I'm not so I want to validate before I test with that setup.
Yes it is indeed a shared folder, and I have shared_folders set to true in the advanced config, but shared_files is false:
Option shared_files.
Instructs rclone to work on individual shared files.
In this mode rclone's features are extremely limited - only list (ls, lsl, etc.)
operations and read operations (e.g. downloading) are supported in this mode.
All other operations will be disabled.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
shared_files>
Option shared_folders.
Instructs rclone to work on shared folders.
When this flag is used with no path only the List operation is supported and
all available shared folders will be listed. If you specify a path the first part
will be interpreted as the name of shared folder. Rclone will then try to mount this
shared to the root namespace. On success shared folder rclone proceeds normally.
The shared folder is now pretty much a normal folder and all normal operations
are supported.
Note that we don't unmount the shared folder afterwards so the
--dropbox-shared-folders can be omitted after the first use of a particular
shared folder.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("true").
shared_folders>
From my observation it seems that I cannot do any operation any deeper than sub-folder (e.g.: dropbox:Main/Sub is fine but dropbox:Main/Sub/Sub2 is not)

I'll see if I can get some time as I haven't tested shared folders yet so my test cases were not identical to yours. I used just a regular folder with no issues.
