Creating a folder on a root namespace of a business account
I am using a business package dropbox with just one user (the admin). I am trying to create a folder that is not in the admin's individual folder, but on the root folder. I am using the .NET SDK and so far I've tried CreateFolderV2 and ShareFolderV2 with AsMember and AsAdmin using the member id of the admin.
So far, I have had no luck - the closest I got was getting an error that I have no write permission (even as the admin).
Is this possible ?
Thank you in advance,
Filip
It sounds like your team is using the "team space" configuration. You can access the team root via the API. To do so, you'll need to use the namespace IDs to specify which area you want to access. I recommend reading the Namespace Guide, which covers this in detail.
You can find information on setting this in the .NET SDK using `WithPathRoot` here.
