Can't get path with `ns:` prefix to work in /2/files/list_folder

I'm trying to get rclone to work with dropbox business accounts.

I read in the documentation that I should be able to use a `ns:1234` prefix on paths to view listings.

Here is a curl example I constructed following the documentation which doesn't seem to work:

$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXX' \
    --data '{"path":"ns:12345"}' \
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder

{"error_summary": "path/not_found/...", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "not_found"}}}

However if I use the alternate form with the `Dropbox-API-Path-Root` header it seems to work.

$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXX' \
    --header 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root: {".tag": "namespace_id", "namespace_id": "12345"}' \
    --data '{"path":""}' \
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder

{"entries": [{".tag": "folder", "name": "test-folder", "path_lower": "/test-folder", "path_display": "/test-folder", "parent_shared_folder_id":....[snip successful listing]}

I'm trying to use putting the namespace in the path as the go SDK doesn't seem to support the Dropbox-API-Path-Root` header.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks

Is the namespace ID for a "team space"? If so, you will need to use the the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header to access it. (If not, please open an API ticket with details so we can check on this for you.)

Yes it is a team space.

In the docs I can't see an indication that the `ns:` prefix doesn't work with the team space root ID.

So is this a documentation bug?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll ask the team to update the documentation to clarify that.
