Using new api v2 can't seem to add folder members to a shared folder.
I have been testing out the new HTTP api (here https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation ) which looks really promising!
I've successfully shared a folder, but when i add a member to it using https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-sharing-add_folder_member
using a curl command like
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <OMITTED>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"shared_folder_id": "<OMITTED REAL FOLDER ID>","members": [{ "member": { "email": "myemail@me.com"}}],"quiet": "false","custom_message": "Yay share a folder"}'
and the error message i keep getting back is
Error in call to API function "sharing/add_folder_member": request body: members.member: missing '.tag' key%
Looking for someone to shed some light on what the actual error is.
Thanks!

You'll need a ".tag" to indicate which option in the MemberSelector union you're using. E.g.,:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <redacted>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"shared_folder_id\": \"dbsfid:<redacted>\",\"members\":[{\"member\":{\".tag\":\"email\",\"email\":\"email@example.com\"}}],\"quiet\": false,\"custom_message\":\"Documentation for launch day\"}"We'll make a note to improve the documentation with an example for this.
Oh, I see. I thought that an open union meant that I could just provide one of the following key/value pairs and it would use that.
Thanks!
