Yes, sharingListFolders[/Continue] lists all of the shared folders the user has access to.
You can list the shared folders using sharingListFolders[/Continue], and then use sharingListFolderMembers[/Continue] to check the members, i.e., to see if it's a folder just between you and the user.

Dropbox StaffThis sounds like something you should be able to accomplish without using the team endpoints. What are you stuck on with sharingListFolders[/Continue] exactly?
Note that whether you use the user's access token or your own access token, it sounds like you'd need to filter the results of sharingListFolderMembers[/Continue] in order to list only the folders you're interested in. I.e., just the ones between you and user. Alternatively, you could just persistently keep track of the relevant shared folder IDs over time and filer that way.

- Yes that’s my problem. I need to filter the results returned by sharedFolder.
Correct me if I’m wrong but sharinglistFolders returns an array of all shred folders that user has access to.
I would like the user to only see shared folders between the user and myself. Is there a way to do this with api endpoints/arguments or should I just assign a prefix to my shared folders such as FAKECO and create my own function for sorting through the folder names returning those that matched.
Thanks so much for the quick reply- Greg-DB
