    Hi GustavBrock,

    Sending a request to /sharing/list_folder_members endpoint will return the members of a shared folder.

    For member groups, there will be a property "group_id" per member group. For individual members, there will be an "account_id" property per member.

    Thanks!

    I have the Dropbox.Api package installed to serve other tasks. Could this be used to retrieve the account_id? I can retrieve the folder metadata but this seems not to include the account_id.

      Hi GustavBrock,

      In order to further assist, could you provide the following?

      • the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
      • the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
      • the full text of any error or unexpected output
