Can't upload file to a shared folder in Dropbox Business
I am having difficulty uploading a file to any shared folders that I currently has access to (and I can see my access via .Sharing.ListFoldersAsync()). Regardless of how I change the path in Files.Up...
To be clear, can you confirm if you are referring to the "team space" I mentioned? (If not, and you just want to upload to a share folder mounted inside your member folder, you can use the path from Sharing.ListFoldersAsync.)
If you are trying to upload to the team space, once you know the namespace ID, you can use that as the path root. With the .NET SDK you can operate on the team space by setting the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. The .NET SDK supports setting the Dropbox-Api-Path-Root header, via DropboxClient.WithPathRoot.
You can access the team shared space by using DropboxClient.WithPathRoot to set Dropbox-Api-Path-Root header:this.client = this.client.WithPathRoot(new PathRoot.NamespaceId(<namespace ID>));
Otherwise, please share the code and output that isn't working for you so I can get a better idea of what you're trying to do specifically.

Dropbox Community ModeratorIt sounds like you're referring to accessing the "team space". We have a namespace guide here that covers how to access that via the API:

Hi Greg,
Okay I am able to access the shared folders using Team.NamespacesListAsync() but NamespaceMetadata doesn't provide any file path to use in order to upload files to it.

- Hi Greg,
Thanks for the code example, I've managed to get it working on my end.
