Greg,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I am reaching out to Clairs about this now. However, I was hoping to elaborate a bit more to ensure the fix is with Claris.
I connect to the DB API (via Claris Connect) to automate a Folder creation and create a Share (on the newly created Folder). It has worked perfectly for years…until the new DB update. “Team Spaces?”
Using my current code, the folder gets created in the correct directory, but when I reference the newly created folder’s path (to create a Share) I get the “invalid_root/” error returned.
This is what I send to create the folder…(and it works)
"--request POST --header \"Content-Type: application/json\" --data @$$JSONdata"
--------------------$$JSONdata Below--------------------------
JSONSetElement ( "{}" ;
["action" ; "script" ; JSONString] ;
["Path" ; $DBPath; JSONString] ;
["Folder Name" ; $JobFolder; JSONString]
)
However, I get this result when requesting the Share from the folder’s path:
"body":{2 items
"error_summary":string"invalid_root/."
"error":{2 items
".tag":string"invalid_root"
"invalid_root":{4 items
".tag":string"team"
"root_namespace_id":string"2986277024"
"home_namespace_id":string"152637445"
"home_path":string"/Jay Pif"
Do you think this is a Claris Connect issue?

4 years agoJay P Since you are getting the "invalid_root" error, it seems you are already able to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header, but aren't supplying the correct value. Please refer to the Team Files Guide for information on how to retrieve the relevant value(s).
If that's still not working for you, please share the steps and code to reproduce the issue so we can take a look.
