Thank you!
We solved the problem of setting "withPathRoot" by SwiftyDropbox.
For other people has the same problem, I record what I do here.
I set class variable as you said(Most important).
var dropboxClient:DropboxClient?
login then do those things
dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient dropboxClient?.users.getCurrentAccount().response(completionHandler: {user, error in let rootNamespaceId = user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId if rootNamespaceId != nil{ self.dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId(user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId ?? "")) } self.dropboxClient?.files.listFolder(path: self.filePath).response(completionHandler: {response, error in //Parse if response?.entries != nil{ self.parseDropboxEntries(entries: response!.entries) } }) })

Yes, the withPathRoot method is the right way to access different roots. I just tried it and it is working for me.
Can you clarify what you mean when you say you tried many ways to keep the client variable? What did you use exactly?
In my own testing I am able to reproduce the "-999" error you're getting when I only define the client locally. It's fixed when I define it as a class variable though, e.g., as `var client : DropboxClient?`.
