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 order to identify if it is a space team(new team)  or the old one.

 

is this the case for today as well. or that dropbox deprecated all there old teams of the old dropbox and we move only to work with the new one?

 

i am using the api of dropbox and i used to support the old and the new dropbox themes.

 

can someone help me to understand 🙂

 

 

attaching the response from rootinfo 

 

  • 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.

        Omri1984 Ð—дравко 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.
