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.

While 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:

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.
