    Team folders can still be listed using a user-linked (individual scopes only) token. However, in order to access the team space, you will need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. You can find information on how to use this in the Team Files Guide. The reason for this is that by default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space".
