You're getting this error because you're using an access token for an entire Business team to call a user-specific endpoint. You can do so, but you'll need to specify which team member to operate on. You can find information on how to do so under the "Member file access" section here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access

Alternatively, if you don't want to connect to entire Business teams, and instead just want to connect to individual accounts (Business or not), you should register a "Dropbox API" app, instead of a "Dropbox Business API" app:
