download file from bussiness teams
So ihave a bussines teams folder inside i have some .mdb file that want to download automatic, but the problem is that i cant access to the bussines folder so i created a shared link
shared_link = dropbox.files.SharedLink(url=url)
for entry in dbx.files_list_folder(path='', shared_link=shared_link).entries:
if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FileMetadata):
if entry.name == "asd.mdb":
dbx.files_download(entry.path_display)
so i have an error downloading it and after i see the entry i have this in the metadata path_display=NOT_SET, path_lower=NOT_SET
so i inserted the path manually for testing and cant download.
maybe there is somehow i can download a file from bussiness teams of my account ?
Hi dmartinez,
By default you can access only files/folders residing within your private user folder on Business account with space configuration - nothing outside. In this context:

To be able access there you need to set account root for the API calls (not the default - your member's folder). In Python you can do it using 'with_path_root' method. In such a way you can access there (and download) directly, without using links. 😉
Another alternative way (using links) is listing the folder link's content and get links pointing contained files. In such a way you're not restricted to link coming from you (your account) only. This way is not officially supported by Dropbox in spite accessible for years. For more info take a look here. Once you have a file link, direct download is possible (either using Dropbox API or not).
Hope this helps.

dmartinez Здравко is correct; to access the contents of the team space, you'll need to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header, which you can do by using the with_path_root method in the Dropbox Python SDK. That way, you wouldn't need to use 'shared_link' at all. You can find more information on how to access team content in the Team Files Guide.
