I have reviewed Namespace Guide and Content Access Guide. The namespace guide explains the difference between a team space and non-team space accounts, but is listing namespace will include all namespaces (not recursive but top-level) on both types (Team space and non-team space) of accounts?
I am still not clear on the concept of team and shared folders (I have reviewed online resources). If team folders and shared folders both have a shared_folder_id and are almost similar, then why are they identified differenty. Nevertheless, my main objective is to walk through each and every folder recursively and for that I need a list of top-level folders which I assume can be obtained by listing namespace.

Yes, /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue] will list all namespaces for a team, whether or not the team uses the team space configuration.

While team folders and shared folders are similar and share some properties, there do not behave exactly the same, so they are identified differently. For instance, team folders are shared with the entire team, while shared folders can be shared with arbitrary/specific accounts.
