So one way to achive desired result would to have two apps:
- Personal Full Access: so we can get the extensions going
- Team File Access: so we can lookup files passed from share-extension
This works, but hope it doesn't change :)
Altough I think it would make sense to have an extension at the team level as well so there is no less confusion (and less apps for a user to install?)

6 years agoumalik-pd I'm not sure I understand your comment. You can lookup and access files passed along the extensions flow from a ("personal" or "user-linked") Dropbox API app with Full Dropbox access, even if the file happens to be in the team space. If the file happens to be in the team space, you just need to set the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header accordingly, as covered in the namespace Guide.
You don't need a Dropbox Business API app ("team-linked") with the "team member file access" access just to access the team space. You would use this type of app if you needed the ability to connect to any arbitrary member of the team, for instance, or to access other team-specific functionality.
