How do i get the relative path for a folder?
My app is integrated with dropbox. However, I see some changes coming for business team dropbox: https://help.dropbox.com/plans/upcoming-business-team-changes?_camp=16203&_tk=banner_campaign_format#...

Thanks! My code originally worked with team space but seems like they're rolling out changes. Not sure whats wrong with my existing code (I am already setting path-root). Does it have to be empty?
/**
* @param {Authorization} authorization
*/
function createDropboxInstance(authorization) {
const dropboxOptions = {
accessToken: authorization.access_token,
};
if (authorization.rootNamespaceId) {
Object.assign(dropboxOptions, {
pathRoot: JSON.stringify({
'.tag': 'root',
root: `${authorization.rootNamespaceId}`,
}),
});
}
return new DropboxSDK.Dropbox(dropboxOptions);
}
async fetchFilesAndFolders(storage, authorization) {
const dropboxSDKInstance = createDropboxInstance(authorization);
const folderMetadata = await this._folderInfoInternal(
storage,
authorization
);
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const retryCallback = makeRetryCallback(resolve, reject);
retry(
Dropbox.retryOptions,
(callback) => {
dropboxSDKInstance
// @ts-ignore
.filesListFolder({ path: folderMetadata.path_display })
.then((response) => callback(null, response))
.catch((error) => {
this._logger.error(
formatLoggerErrors(
error,
'fetchFilesAndFolders'
)
);
this._logger.error(error);
callback(
StorageProviderError(
this.name,
error.status ? error.status : 500,
1005,
error.error
)
);
});
},
retryCallback,
this._logger
);
});
}

2 years agoThere are a number of ways to use the functionality, depending on what you're trying to do, but the pathRoot field, if being used, should not be empty. In order to access the team space, for instance, you should use the root mode and use the root namespace ID for the connected account.
To clarify, is something in particular currently not working as expected? Please feel free to share the specific error/unexpected output and I'll be happy to take a look.
Note that if you need a test team, you can request one using the process described under the "How do I test my application?" question here. Be sure to indicate what specifically you need to test.
