I want to upload files to Dropbox Business using the Dropbox API

# Summary

I used the "/2/files/upload" endpoint of the Dropbox API.

However, the file is uploaded to your personal folder.

I want to upload files to the team folder using the API.

# Tried

I found the following questions.

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/API-V2-Access-team-folders-of-bussines-plan-with-Folder-Files/td-p/268044

It says "Use Dropbox-API-Path-Root".

The Dropbox-API-Path-Root requires Namespace.

So I used Dropbox API Explorer • namespaces/list to find the Namespace of the folder I wanted to upload.

I found the desired value in the data returned by Dropbox API Explorer.

{
      "name": "FOLDER_NAME",
      "namespace_id": "xxxxxxxxxx",
      "namespace_type": {
        ".tag": "shared_folder"
      }
 },

So I added the following code to PHP's program processing.

This is written in the header section of Guzzle.

$header = [
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . ACCESS_TOKEN,
    'Content-Type' => 'application/octet-stream',
    'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' => json_encode([
        '.tag' => 'shared_folder',
        'shared_folder' => 'namespace_id(xxxxxxxxxx)'
    ]),
    'Dropbox-API-Arg' => json_encode([
        'path' => '/example/upload/',
        'mode' => 'add',
        'autorename' => true,
        'mute' => false,
        'strict_conflict' => false,
    ]),
];

However, I get a ".tag shared_folder does not exist" error.

There was an error when I changed to '.tag' => 'root'.

Why is this?
Please tell me how to do it.

Thank you.

The 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header does not support a 'shared_folder' option. Please refer to the Namespace Guide for information and examples on how to use the header, such as what options it supports:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/namespace-guide

For example, it sounds like you probably want to use the 'namespace_id' option.

Thank you for your reply.

As you explained, I set it as follows.

'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' => json_encode([
        '.tag' => 'namespace_id',
        'namespace_id' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
]),

However, I get the following error:

`POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response:
Error in call to API function "files/upload": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account, but the OAuth 2 ac (truncated...)

Why is this?

I would appreciate it if you could advise me.

Thank you.

It looks like you or your HTTPS client truncated the error message. Please print out the full error message information, as it will contain more information about the specific error scenario.
