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-linked apps, can I determine if team space is enabled by checking the value of `root_info.root_namespace_id` from /2/users/get_current_account?
2. The document mentions that the response of has_team_shared_dropbox differs between updated team spaces and team spaces, suggesting it cannot be used to determine the usage of a team space. Is this correct?
> All users with a team space previously had a root_info of type team from /2/users/get_current_account. Going forward, users with the updated team space will have root_info of type user. Accordingly, do not rely on the root_info type to determine if a team uses the team space; that only indicates if the team shares the team space across all members. Instead, use /2/users/features/get_values to determine the features of a user account.
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.

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?
