Python SDK Set Custom Quota
We have working version of our code using Python SDK but having trouble testing. What do I put for 20GB of data for custom_quota
Just want to confirm do I put 20 or 20 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 for custom_quota and can I user user email instead of member_id
try:
response = dbx.team_member_space_limits_set_custom_quota( member_id=team_member_id, quota=custom_quota )
except:
dropbox.exceptions.ApiError as e: print(f"API Error: {e}")

Hi JohnAdam_CUNY,
First of all, you have to provide list, even for a single member - list of UserCustomQuotaArg. As could be seen there, value is in GB (just keep in mind that it's not entirely true - Dropbox uses GiB and similar units everywhere - including API).
By the way "20 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024" are 20GiB, not 20GB! "20 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000" are 20GB. Don't get confused. 🙂
To select some user, you may use all that UserSelectorArg provides.
Hope this helps.

JohnAdam_CUNY Здравко is correct. For more information on using team_member_space_limits_set_custom_quota, please refer to the documentation.
So, for example, setting a custom quota for a single member by specifying an email address would look like:
users_and_quotas = [dropbox.team.UserCustomQuotaArg(user=dropbox.team.UserSelectorArg.email("user@example.com"), quota_gb=20)] response = dbx.team_member_space_limits_set_custom_quota(users_and_quotas=users_and_quotas)
