As a Dropbox for Business Admin, can I access every member's files via the API?

I understand that via the Admin UI I can use the 'Sign In As' feature to get access to user's files/folders.

 

However I would like to know if I, with Admin capabilities, can programmatically get a list of every user and loop through all of their files/folders via the HTTP API (or even Java/Python API)?

 

Can this be done? I can't find where every file/folder belonging to every user in an organisation is consolidated in one place for the admin to access.
