App Scope: Individual vs Team Scope Difference

Question

Currently, I have an app that has read scope for team member (individual scope) but not TEAM scopes. Assuming this limitation persists with my app, can team folders still be scanned just like regular folders in a member's account if my app has scope for that accountId? For example,

Team ABC has 2 members, Y and Z. My app has scope access to both members' accounts. I can scan both of their accounts, including the team folder in each account - is this the correct assumption? I understand that I would have duplicates if this is the correct assumption.

Hi @mikirey,

Team folders can still be listed using a user-linked (individual scopes only) token. However, in order to access the team space, you will need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. You can find information on how to use this in the Team Files Guide. The reason for this is that by default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space".
