how to check team space support for user-linked apps

I've read the document and have questions about supporting team spaces, specifically for user-linked apps. https://dropbox.tech/developers/api-updates-to-better-support-team-spaces   1. For user-l...

    1. With a user-linked app, to determine if an account has a team space, you can use the 'distinct_member_home' feature on the /2/users/features/get_values endpoint. (The 'root_info.root_namespace_id' value from /2/users/get_current_account alone does not indicate the existence of a team space, as every account has some root namespace ID.)

     

    2. That's correct, the 'team_shared_dropbox' feature values only indicate if the account is on a team with a shared team space in particular, so it cannot be used to detect if the account is on a team with a team space of any type.

     

    If you have a user-linked app and want to check if the account has a team space (shared or not), use the above mentioned 'distinct_member_home' feature on the /2/users/features/get_values endpoint.

SJ_Code I can only help with API matters, so if you have any questions regarding the UI or the state of your team itself, I recommend reaching out to support. But yes, has_team_shared_dropbox is only true for the non-updated team space configuration.

 

As for your questions:

1. Yes, a team gets upgraded as a whole, so when using the API you should see all of the members of a team with the same configuration.

2. Using the feature values on the API is the best way to check the state of a team, and you can see what each combination of features means in the blog post. Since those aren't currently implemented in the .NET SDK though, you'll need to use the workaround from my previous message to determine the same information. The feature values are essentially just shortcuts to check the same thing.

Not sure why my last message didn't go through but thank you Greg for getting back to me with more information!

 

Do you know when we can expect to have updated .NET SDK?

    SJ_Code It looks like your messages got caught in the spam filter for some reason. I just released them.

     

    Unfortunately I don't have a timeline to share for updates to the .NET SDK.
