Get parent team folder from name space
Hey,
When I am using https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#team_log-get_events-continue to get events I got the path without the team folder and the minimum shared par...
Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately, no, I can't think of a more direct or faster way to query that information.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI'm not sure I understand your specific scenario here, but it sounds like you may want to use the /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata endpoint. You could supply the team or shared folder ID as the shared_folder_id, which would give you the 'parent_shared_folder_id' value. You could then call again with that ID to get the information for that parent folder.
If that isn't what you're looking for, please share a sample so I can take a closer look for your use case, e.g., so I can see what particular event you're working from. Thanks!
Thank's for the response.
You have understood me right :)
I have already thought about the solution you suggested but I wondered if there is a simpler, not recursive way to do that (Just get the parent team_folder_id form file_id or ns_id in one call)?

Hey,
I have noticed that 'parent_shared_folder_id' value is optional, so I can't always get the team folder for a namespace (file/folders can be not under team folder on Dropbox for enterprise?)
I also tried to use "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" for each team folder and see if I got a valid response, but it doesn't work.
