.Net API SDK - Best way to connect to a Business Dropbox?
Hi, We are in the process of adding Dropbox support to our application. Basically this is so users have an option to store attachments in Dropbox (user creates a sales order in our app and wants to...
I have been trying to use the AsMember method and it seems to always throw this error when I use it - "Invalid select user id format"
DropboxTeamClient teamClient = new DropboxTeamClient(OAUTHTOKEN);
var results = await teamClient.Team.MembersListAsync();
string memberID = string.Empty;
foreach (var member in results.Members)
{
if (member.Profile.Email.Equals("tcash@mac.com", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
memberID = member.Profile.AccountId;
if (memberID.StartsWith("dbid:", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
memberID = memberID.Substring(5);
}
break;
}
}
var dbx = teamClient.AsMember($"dbmid:{memberID}");
The member ID I get from the member profile is in the format of "dbid:XXXXXX", while the code I have found in the forms seems to want to set it as "dbmid:XXXXXX". I've tried both styles and neither worked.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe AsMember method expects the "team member ID", which is the ID that starts with "dbmid:". Dropbox supplies these values directly, and you should not attempt to modify them.
The team member ID is available as MemberProfile.TeamMemberId (not MemberProfile.AccountId).
Ok, so I did try using that value and it gave me the same error.

Can your share your current code for that? I just modified your earlier code and it worked fine for me:
DropboxTeamClient teamClient = new DropboxTeamClient(ACCESS_TOKEN); var results = await teamClient.Team.MembersListAsync(); string memberID = string.Empty; foreach (var member in results.Members) { if (member.Profile.Email.Equals(EMAIL_ADDRESS, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) { memberID = member.Profile.TeamMemberId; break; } } //or use MembersGetInfoAsync to look up a specific member directly var dbx = teamClient.AsMember(memberID); var result = await dbx.Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync();
