8 months agoSc0rp0w App folders are incompatible with shared/team folders, meaning you can't share an app folder, put a shared/team folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared/team folder. (The app folder name setting only allows you to set the default name of the app folder, not the full path, so you can't use that to set the path to include a team folder as a parent, for instance.)
Instead, if you need to use the API with shared/team folders, you'll need to use "full Dropbox" access type, as opposed to the app folder access type. You can find more information about app permissions here:

If you've already registered an app using the app folder access type, you can register another with full Dropbox access at:
