Getting all files in a team drive
Hi,
I would like to get all of the files in a Team Drive.
So far I have this -
admin_member_id = self.get_admin_account_access_token().admin_profile.team_member_id headers = {} headers["Authorization"] = token headers["Dropbox-API-Select-User"] = admin_member_id headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json" url = dropbox_constants.DROPBOX_API_BASE + "sharing/list_folders" data = json.dumps({}) res = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers) if not res.status_code == 200: return [] content_json = json.loads(res.content) entries = content_json["entries"]
At this point, 'entries' holds shared folders metadata.
I couldn't find any way to retrieve list of files inside the folders out of this metadata.
Would appreciate any help

The /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] endpoints will return the list of shared folders themselves. To list the actual contents of any particular folder(s), you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]. I recommend reading the Content Access Guide for more information.
