In all cases you need to set your root to appropriate one using withPathRoot in addition to asMember, if desired folders reside in out of your account's user/member home (as seems it is).
From 8 folders I have in my account, 3 of them I created by myself. So at least the list folder API should return that 3 folders, but it did not. Do I need to do some extra setup to list all 3 folders. Thanks.

Dropbox Stafftrithanhnguyen Yes, as Здравко indicated, it sounds like you're looking for the contents of your "team space", but note that by default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space", so you won't see the contents of your team space when making API calls by default. You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header. You can find information on this in the Team Files Guide. With the Java SDK, you can set that header using withPathRoot.
Thank Здравко and Greg,
When I set the withPathRoot with my Team Root Namespace then the List Folder API returns all the folders and files under my Team Namespace. I do not want that. I just want to list all the folders and files in my account. There are 3 folders which I created in my personal account. However, when I use this API call:
ListFolderResult fileRes = dbxClient.files().listFolderBuilder("").withRecursive(true).start();
It just returns 1 folder and all the contents under that folder.
