The 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();
