7 months agoHi M Arslan,
Just to clarify, by default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space".
You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though, in order to interact with files/folders in the team space. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. You can find information on how to use this in the Team Files Guide.
Based on the information provided, folder 12381081779 is a team folder, which means you will need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header in order to upload files to folder/namespace 12381081779.
Also, just as FYI, your code snippet contained a refresh token value which was removed for your security. We would highly recommend regenerating that refresh token though.
