You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

1. No, the API doesn't yet offer the ability to programmatically create team folders. We'll consider it a feature request.
2. The /team/members/add endpoint only allows you to add members to a Dropbox for Business team, creating the account if necessary. It doesn't otherwise allow you to create arbitrary (e.g., free or pro) accounts. If you only need to create accounts on existing Business teams though, that endpoint would be sufficient.

The API doesn't offer a way to programmatically create accounts, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

is there any API for creation of share folder
- Greg-DBDropbox Staff
Yes, you can share a folder via the API using the /sharing/share_folder endpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder
You can then invite members to it using /sharing/add_folder_member:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_folder_member
If you're using an SDK, there will be corresponding methods for these endpoints.

- Greg-DBDropbox StaffWe now have an API endpoint for creating team folders available. You can find the documentation here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-team_folder-create
If you're using an official SDK, this will be implemented in the next update of the SDK.
Once the team folder itself is created, you can enable access by adding the team's group ID as a member using:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_folder_member
Note: this functionality is only available to teams enrolled for early access to "improvements to team folders". Team admins can enroll for this access here:
