API V2 Access team folders of bussines plan with Folder/Files operations
i want to acces team folders using application user api for list,create folders, upload and download,etc.. and i'm going crazy.
In API Explorer with function "list_folder", only can acces user home folder, y try put in path the id of shared id,or namespace ns; does not work either,
The only way can view team folder stuff is put the shared link root, but the result of folders not contains the field path o lower_path ,that needs to files/folder operations like create folders/download/upload files etc..
Also try create folders / upload whith namespace ns: and return no write acces,the team folders have editor permissions.
I can't see any function to upload or create folders into shared folders.
I see this folders are mounted and can't unmounted it , theoricaly they would have to appear like shared folders when are mounted when use function "list_folder"
can help me?

It sounds like you're using a Business team with the new team space and member folders configuration that some teams have access to.
That being the case, you'll need to specify the team folder specifically when making API calls to access its contents, for example, by supplying the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header. You can find more information on that here:

The Dropbox API Explorer is built for the older configuration, but we're working on updating the API and SDK support and documentation to support the new one. That's not quite ready yet though, so unfortunately there isn't a good way to use the API Explorer for this right now, but you can run it outside the of Explorer. Apologies for the inconvenience!

HI Greg,
I have the same problem of accessing team shared folder.
I tried to follow the namespace guide. I am using python. First get namespace ids:
"root_namespace_id": "4345996448", "home_namespace_id": "4770419568",
Then create dbx object with a header:
header = {'Dropbox-API-Path-Root': {".tag": "namespace_id", "namespace_id": "4345996448"}} dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(TOKEN, header)But when do a
dbx.files_list_folder('')still showing my user's home dir, not team shared one. If I add 'ns:4345996448' to PATH, it would fail.
Can you help me with it? Thanks.

tianhong To set the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header, you should instead use the provided 'Dropbox.with_path_root' method, like this:
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(TOKEN).with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("1990815600")) dbx.files_list_folder('')
