Unable to access shared team folder with Python API

Question

I have in the past been able to access files in the dropbox account with python.

We recently upgraded to a business account with teams and shared folders.

I can now only access the non-shared folders, it's my understanding that I now need to create a dbx class "as a user" to access the shared folders.

This is my code:

dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam(token).as_admin('dbid:AABKkpEBW..._N9WJo')

dbx.files_list_folder('')

I'm receiving an error that implies that the id is incorrect:

'Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": Invalid select user id format'

I've also tried the same call with "as_user" and a non-admin id but I get the same error.

I found these ids with the 'team_members_list' function.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Solved!

I was using the account id and not the member id. Member ids start with dbmid as opposed to account ids that start with dbid.
