uploadToDropbox cURL Root
Hi,
I was trying cURL, but I am pretty bad at it.
I would need your assistance.
function uploadToDropbox($path, $folder="\0", $name="") {
$url = "https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/to...
By default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space". That is why you would get files uploaded to your own member folder by default. From your description, you want to upload them to the team space instead.
You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header. In the code you shared here, I see you do have the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header, but you're setting a "namespace_id" of "7". The "7" is just an example from the guide/documentation. For your actual code, you will need to set your own value. Refer to the Team Files Guide and Path Root Header Modes documentation for information on how to retrieve and use the correct value for the connected account.
