Changing team folder setting with pyhon module

Hi All.

I want to set team folder using python module.

Team folder creation is complete


However, I do not know the setting method below in the setting of the team folder


Who can manage access to this folder?
Default : "Anyone in your Dropbox Business account with edit permissions"
Change to "Only owners"

Allow links to be shared with people outside this folder?
Default : "Yes"
Change to "No"

  • You can use the sharing_update_folder_policy method to change the settings of a team folder. 

     

    Assuming you're using a Business API member file access app with the Python SDK, that would look like:

     

    import dropbox
    
    TEAM_ACCESS_TOKEN = "..."
    MEMBER_ID = "..."
    TEAM_FOLDER_ID = "..."
    
    dbx_team = dropbox.DropboxTeam(TEAM_ACCESS_TOKEN)
    dbx_user = dbx_team.as_user(MEMBER_ID)
    
    res = dbx_user.sharing_update_folder_policy(TEAM_FOLDER_ID, acl_update_policy=dropbox.sharing.AclUpdatePolicy.owner, shared_link_policy=dropbox.sharing.SharedLinkPolicy.members)
    print(res)
