Old dropbox and new dropbox API
Hi , i know that dropbox made a lot of changes in the last few years. i want to understand something there where a time that i needed to check the account , and check if the account is team in o...
Omri1984 The combination of the two features allows an app to distinguish between all three team configurations. Please refer to this post for information on that. The recommendation is use these feature values to programmatically determine how to handle any particular team, as described throughout that post.

Dropbox StaffWhile Dropbox is working to migrate teams to the updated team space, there are still teams on each of the different configurations.
And yes, the best resources for information on this are:
- https://dropbox.tech/developers/api-updates-to-better-support-team-spaces
- https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-team-files-guide
how can i request both of those featured values using the dropbox sdk with c# can share with an example of the code ?

Omri1984 Здравко is correct; you can use those feature methods in the .NET SDK to make the feature calls for the team or user, but the team_shared_dropbox and distinct_member_home feature values for users and the has_distinct_member_homes feature values for teams haven't been implemented in .NET SDK yet.
You can determine the same information from the RootInfo object in your screenshot though:
- team_shared_dropbox: this is the same as checking if the RootInfo is a TeamRootInfo.
- distinct_member_home: this is the same as checking if rootNamespaceId
and homeNamespaceId are different.
Thank you Здравко and thank you Greg-DB i will give it a try.
In the past i implement changes that decided if it a new team or old by the root info.isteam
So now i have 3 options? New team old team and no team. And according to table i saw in article this is the way i need to decide if to use the team space client or the old client ??- Greg-DB
Omri1984 Yes, there are currently three possible team configurations. The linked resources cover how to detect all of the different feature states so apps can use the features accordingly. Note though that the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header is supported by all three configurations, so you can use that to set the root when calling for any account regardless of the team configuration if you wish to do so. That can make your code a bit simpler.
