/team_folder/list gives has_more false altough the Team has a shared Folder with full permissions

Hey folks,

we just testing the Business Advanced Plan.

Wenn calling the https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/team_folder/list I get the "has_more" key with value false as response.

POSTing the cursor to /team_folder/list/continue gives me an empty array of key "team_folders".

But the Team I'am in has definitely a Team Folder where everybody on that team has full permissions. It just doesn't show up in the API calls.

Did I miss something? What am I doing wrong?

Yes, you need to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header in order to root an API call in the team space (to access those other folders shown in your screenshot). The Team Files Guide goes over how to do this. That is, you can get the root_namespace_id value from /2/users/get_current_account and use that in the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header value.

It sounds like your team is set up to use the "team space" configuration, so the /2/team/team_folder/list[/continue] interface will only list the team's "team space" (or "shared workspace").

For teams with this configuration, you can list the contents of the team space directly using the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints. Please refer to the Team Files Guide for information on interacting with the team space via the API.

Thanks for your Answer.

When I call /files/list_folder The API response with the following error:

"Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account, but the OAuth 2 access token you provided is for an entire Dropbox Business team..."

But when I use the ID of my user which has Admin permissions or even the owners user with the Dropbox-API-Select-User. I can only see folders in my or his private workspace. Not folders in the teams workspace.

I just read the Team Files Guide, but I just don't get it. Do I need to use the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header?

To clearify I made a screenshot.

I can't really find a good explanation on how to r/w into Teamspaces via API with an App Bearer Token.

Maybe u can provide more detailed instructions for me.

Thanks in Advance
