Hi Greg,

 

many thanks. Yes, switching to the /2/sharing/check_share_job_status endpoint did the trick and I already see some silver lining 😃

I've another question regarding access inheritance.

Our scenario will look like this:

We'll have multiple apps where each app will be bound to a corresponding shared folder inside our new team space (as virtual root).

Each app will be operated by different users, so it would make sense not to inherit the team space to these folders, won't it?

Will adding users to a shared folder work as before when using the team folder api (creating a group, add this group to the folder, adding users to the group)?

 

Thanks again and best regards,

Jan
