API "List Folder" , no team folder
The Api-Call "list-folder" only read und list my private folder, but not the team folder. All folders in the team folder are not displayed. All permissions are set and i also tried the call with a...
Hi peeps,
By default, Dropbox API always access user folder as default namespace. For accounts that user folder give access to all data particular user has access to (i.e. personal accounts and business account with team folders configuration), it's ok - you don't need to do anything in addition - the default is fine. For accounts which user folders are subfolders in the account root (business account with team space configuration - as yours seems to be) team spaces are outside your member folder (note team spaces, not classical folders) and that's why the default configuration doesn't work for you. You still have the same access but the folders you're looking for are outside your member folder and that's why stay "invisible". Such folders to become visible (spaces actually), you have to change your API root to match to the account root, not to member's folder (for such accounts they are different things). Changing root can be done using "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" HTTP header. 😉 Take a look here for more info.
Hope this helps.

expertbet, In addition to all already said, you miss a fact that all file/folder access operations have to be performed on some user/member behalf! Otherwise error, like the one you got, is something normal. Yes, for all business accounts (regardless their configuration), tokens represent the team, not some user, and that's why you have to add either "Dropbox-API-Select-User" header or "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header with corresponding team_member_id (as you partially found out) to represent particular member. 😉
Hope this sheds some more light.
