Hi TheWhistler1967,
As far as I can see, you are trying use your account id (starts "dbid") as a team member id (starts "dbmid"). 🤫 Select the correct identifier. 😉
Hope this helps.
Ok so it seems this is a DropboxTeams thing, so maybe this is closer:
dbx_t = dropbox.DropboxTeam(TOKEN)
dbx_t_as_user = dbx_t.as_user("dbid:<string>")
response = dbx_t_as_user.files_list_folder('')
But a new error:
'Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": Invalid select user id format'

Dropbox StaffThat's correct, for accessing user endpoints using a team-linked access token like this, you'll need to specify the member to operate on. You can find the documentation for this here.
In the Python SDK, you can use as_user (or as_admin) for this.
These require a team member ID, which starts with "dbmid:", not an account ID, which starts with "dbid:". You can get team member IDs from a number of places on the API, such as team_members_get_info_v2, team_members_list_v2/team_members_list_continue_v2, etc.
Thanks - this was exactly correct. Marked other one as solution. Cheers.
