Access team folders - Old Business Team Configuration
I understand that with the new team spaces and namespace configurations, that we would have to use 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header and I've managed to get it working by setting the namespace to the ro...
Yes, on the Dropbox Business API, you can use the /2/team/features/get_values endpoint to check the 'has_team_shared_dropbox' feature to see if the team uses the team space configuration.
Or, on the Dropbox API, you can call /2/users/get_current_account and check the returned RootInfo type to see if the user is a member of a team that uses the team space configuration. Specifically, the returned 'root_info' will be a 'UserRootInfo' (with '.tag' of 'user') if the team doesn't use the team space, or a 'TeamRootInfo' (with a '.tag' of 'team') if it does.
If you're using the "team member file access" feature, and want to operate on a particular user only, you should use the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" header. (The "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header is for access any team owned content in general.) And for listing any/all files in a user's account, you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]. (The /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] endpoints, on the other hand, only list the shared folders in particular, and not their contents.)
Is there any update to the request on how a developer can test across versions of Team Space and Team Folders. We have a client who has an older account and has no immediate desire to update. But we need to be able to support both them and any new clients who have the newer functionality.
Is there a way to request an 'older' account? even if it comes at a cost. Asking a large multi national for access to their account to test isn't a scalable solution moving forward.
How do developers without an old account currently test across the two styles of working before we publish to clients?

Dropbox Community ModeratorKris Brown You can fill out this form to request a Dropbox Business Development Account, which should use the old configuration by default.
- Greg-db, thanks for that. We have received our accounts. But itâs not clear how to replicate our customers environment.
Are you able to help with the question below.
As we discussed, I requested the dev business account using old configuration for development testing following this form
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkzPmp9srHG9jwE3Uc0bFOwknN-rrLQWr1mf_3FGl86ydCiQ/viewform?entry.1304485640=Developer
and the account was granted,
I used the Dropbox API to check whether it has the same configuration similar to Company X which is a team space. However, it isnât..
Team Space configuration will have this flag is true.
So my question is:
How can we upgrade this account to be Team Space configuration as I couldnât find a correct document to do so.
Another question is we donât see this feature âClick here to describe this folder and turn into a spaceâ in any of our dropbox accountsâ. Is it available in team space configuration?- Greg-DB
I can only help with questions about the Dropbox API itself. For help accessing other features or configuring your account(s) please reach out to support from the relevant account(s) here.
