But I wish to get access to the folder "AffinityInvestment". Can you please help me with the steps I need to do?
In particular how do I "set your id as a user and the space (team folder) where your target folder reside in (aside of exact path - properly formatted)." do this in Java?
Thanks, Jason
Bad "news" - your folder is out of your home. 😕 You need to use team features.
First make sure you have selected yourself in the client object using asMember. Next select proper root (your team folder) using withPathRoot. Next you can list it using empty string (the folder appears to be the root, not a subfloder there). For more basic info take a look here.
Good luck.
