    Hi nsalex,

This aligns with the naming structure and value expected by the API, thus ensuring correct functionality.

    Thank you! Unlike the "files/upload" endpoint, the namespace_id and root tags behave differently for the root namespace in the "sharing/share_folder" endpoint. This is now working.
