Team Space vs Updated Team Space
Hi, according to this post , all kind of accounts will be migrated to "Updated Team Space" by 2024/01/31. I have a few questions about the migration and APIs behaviour changed. 1) As my observat...

1) The API response is correct. In a non-updated team space configuration, as far as how the API works, the folders in the team space are technically shared folders not team folders.
2) No, unfortunately the API doesn't offer a way to filter out the member folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Hi Greg-DB ,
Thanks for all your help, the account works now.
I found some questions after testing on the Team Space account.
1) I created a team folder via Admin Console -> Content called Team Folder 1, and the type is Team Folder on WebUI.
However, the response from namespaces API shows that, this Team Folder 1 is a Shared Folder.
❯ curl -s -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $dt" 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/namespaces/list' | jq .
{
"namespaces": [
{
"name": "Netskope's shared workspace",
"namespace_id": "2463823379",
"namespace_type": {
".tag": "team_folder"
}
},
{
"name": "Team Folder1",
"namespace_id": "2487991075",
"namespace_type": {
".tag": "shared_folder"
}
},
So which type should I take for this folder? I suppose this should be like a pure shared folder as the team folder get info API response shows id_not_found in response.
{
".tag": "id_not_found",
"id_not_found": "2487991075"
}
2) Is it possible to get all file / folders under the root team folder workspace without member root folders?
Asking because we need to know the path in list_folder response, so we will set the Dropbox-API-Select-User to traverse from each user's member folder. Thus I was wondering if there's any way to filter out those member folders against list_folder API?
Looking forward to your response, thanks!
