API V2 Access team folders of bussines plan with Folder/Files operations
i want to acces team folders using application user api for list,create folders, upload and download,etc.. and i'm going crazy. In API Explorer with function "list_folder", only can acces user ho...
It sounds like you're using a Business team with the new team space and member folders configuration that some teams have access to.
That being the case, you'll need to specify the team folder specifically when making API calls to access its contents, for example, by supplying the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header. You can find more information on that here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/namespace-guide
The Dropbox API Explorer is built for the older configuration, but we're working on updating the API and SDK support and documentation to support the new one. That's not quite ready yet though, so unfortunately there isn't a good way to use the API Explorer for this right now, but you can run it outside the of Explorer. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Dropbox Community Moderatortianhong To set the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header, you should instead use the provided 'Dropbox.with_path_root' method, like this:
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(TOKEN).with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("1990815600"))
dbx.files_list_folder('')
Thanks Greg! It works.
I am just wondering how to search these kinds of information in the documentation. I tried but failed. I don't think asking questions here is an efficient way, although your help is great.

tianhong Thanks for the feedback! The documentation for the Python SDK is linked from the SDK's readme, and all of the options for the `Dropbox` class can be found on this `Dropbox` documentation page in particular. I certainly understand how that may not be very discoverable though, so we'll think about ways to make that better.
