Unable to list linked devices

This functionality is only available to the "team member file access" permission. There isn't a way around that unfortunately. Apologies I don't have better news for you!

The team_reports_get_devices, team_log_get_events, and team_log_get_events_continue methods are accessible to team auditing apps, so you can use those if they're sufficient for your use case.

 

The team_reports_get_devices method gives you statistics about the numbers of devices, but team_log_get_events, and team_log_get_events_continue do give some information about specific devices e.g., via EventType.device_link_success with DeviceLinkSuccessDetails.

Great, that sounds promising. Can you point me to a code example of how to use team_log_get_events? When I run it as below it returns an error.

d = dbx.as_user('dbmid:XXXX')
d.team_log_get_events()

ValidationError: events: missing required field 'involve_non_team_member'

Interestingly, this works:

d.team_log_get_events(limit=None, account_id=None, category=dropbox.team_log.EventCategory.members)

But this returns the error:

d.team_log_get_events(limit=None, account_id=None, category=dropbox.team_log.EventCategory.devices)

That code looks right, but there's currently an issue with the SDK that can result in that ValidationError. We're looking into it. I'll let you know when I have an update on it.
