Thanks so much, DB-Des​!

We tried using Zapier (instead of Make.com), and Zapier gives us the option of choosing the "team space".

Do you know if we can set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header using Zapier?

(If we're able to figure out with Zapier, then we might be able to figure it out using Make as well.)
