Hi DB-Des ,
Thanks for the response, hope you find the issue soon.

10 months agoAny endpoints that support the use of "dbid" or "email" would have it documented. For example, endpoint /sharing/add_folder_member would also support the use of "dbid" or "email".
As far as your second question, it would typically mean the same thing, unless otherwise stated in the documentation for the specific endpoint.
As you are aware of by now, the issue with the use of "dbmid" has been resolved. However, if there are any specific endpoints you'd like further clarification on, feel free to share those with us.
