Hi, I am trying to create a team folder and adding groups to it using API, Creating a team folder works fine, Then for adding groups to the folder, I could not find any API to do that. Can you pleas...
Host: https://api.dropboxapi.com
User-Agent: api-explorer-client
Authorization: Bearer K3eIF3qUz8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Content-Type: application/json
{
"shared_folder_id": "4968278384",
"members": [
{
"member": {
".tag": "dropbox_id",
"dropbox_id": "g:22f456bfb225a64b000000000009f325"
}
}
]
}tried this from the api explorer and get this
{
"error_summary": "access_error/not_a_member/...",
"error": {
".tag": "access_error",
"access_error": {
".tag": "not_a_member"
}
},
"user_message": {
"locale": "en",
"text": "You aren’t a member of this shared folder."
}
}I'm trying to do this as a Team admin
When I do this in powershell i get
$Token = 'K3eIF3qUz8AAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
$uri='https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member'
$body_req='{"shared_folder_id": "4968278384", "members": [ { "member": {".tag": "dropbox_id", "dropbox_id": "g:22f456bfb225a64b000000000009f325" }}]}'
$res = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Body $body_req -ContentType 'application/json' -Headers @{ Authorization = ("Bearer " + $Token) } -Method Post
Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict.

Dropbox Community Moderatorjason_nyc Thanks for the code/output! I see you're trying to operate on a team folder using a user-linked "Dropbox API" app. To perform this operation, you'd need to use a "Dropbox Business API" with the 'team member file access' permission, using the "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header, like in my the example in my previous post.
By the way, the two attempt you shared here are probably the same error. In the PowerShell attempt you don't seem to be printing the response body, but I expect it would contain the same error.
