Get List of Shared folders in Dropbox Team
Hello Greg-DB
I am trying to get list of Team and Shared Folders as shown in Content section of Admin console.
I am able to get Team Folders using the Dot Net Official SDK:
TeamFolderListResult result = await teamclient.Team.TeamFolderListAsync(tfargs);
How do I obtain the list of Shared Folders, as shown in screenshot below, quickly using official Dot Net SDK ?
Thanks,
Gagan
To list all namespaces (including both team folders and shared folders) for the team via the .NET SDK, you can use NamespacesListAsync/NamespacesListContinueAsync.
And for reference, to just list the shared folders for a particular user, you can use ListFoldersAsync/ListFoldersContinueAsync.

I was able to obtain the list of Shared Folders using:
TeamNamespacesListResult result = await teamclient.Team.NamespacesListAsync();
List<NamespaceMetadata> lstMetatdata = result.Namespaces.ToList();
NamespaceMetadata has properties Name, NamespaceId, TeamMemberId
Is NamespaceId same as the FolderID of the Shared Folder ?
If not, how do I quickly obtain the FolderID of the Shared Folders obtained from the NamespacesListAsync API.
Thanks,
Gagan

Yes, shared folders and team folders are both types of "namespaces". For a shared folder, the "namespace ID" is the same as the "shared folder ID" (and likewise, for team folders, the "namespace ID" is the same as the "team folder ID").
