Extract Team storage report from PYTHON SDK
Hi everyone!
I want to extract the same data that you can extract from the team storage report.
It provides me info about path, type ( team subfolder, shared folder,etc), size, owner and Nª of files.
After read decumentation I cannot find any solution that satisfy my demand.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass it along.

The Dropbox API and SDK unfortunately do not offer the ability to create/retrieve the storage report programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
If you want to recreate that kind of information programmatically, you can use the API to do so, but it would require some work to write custom code to get the specific information you want (for instance, you would need to write code to count files, etc.). The code example from this blog post may be a good starting point.
I would also suggest reviewing the File Access Guide, Sharing Guide, and Team Files Guide for more information and context on how these features work on the Dropbox API to understand how to use them to extract information about the files/folders on a team using the API.
