access token for a Team folder
is it possible to generate a access token for a Team folder? then use the token in script to send file to the Team folder? I know we can do a app on user's own personal folder with a token.

sffatcat Yes, as long as the app is authorized with the necessary permissions (i.e., full Dropbox access, with the necessary scopes, which would be files.metadata.read for listing files, and files.content.read for downloading files), the app could access anything that the account has access to, including team folders.

Wait ! he is asking if he can access teams files with user access token , is it possible ? cause as per my understanding we need teams access token authorized by admin of the team and then access the teams folder of a particular user using asMember(). please correct me if I am wrong.

Team-linked apps would need the asMember() method to access a specific member's files and folders.
User-linked apps would have access to the files and folders of the individual who authorized the app, yes. This would include any team folders the individual member is a part of.
