List all files & folders in the root namespace for a user.
My aim is to list all the folders/files that belong to a user's dropbox account.
My test user has 2 name-spaces as shown below:
root_namespace_id=u'XXXXXXXX', home_namespace_id=u'XXXXXXXXX')
The method files_list_folder takes in a path argument in which I pass the namespace id 'ns:XXXXXXX'
For root_namespace_id, I get the below error
ApiError('', ListFolderError(u'path', Looked(u'not_found', None)))
For home_namespace_id, it returns the files in the home namespace, but I do not get the Team files/folders(which belong to the root namespace).
How can I get team files/folders?
Thank you
In order to access the team root using the Python SDK, you'll need to use `with_path_root` like this:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")Apologies this isn't better documented yet!
