files/list_folder now doesn't see team share folders

I had just finished building my app, accessing team share folders through my user. 

I then had a business server update last night and now the team share folder is at a higher folder level than files/List_folder can see. The root folder is my username, however I need to access a folder higher to be able to see the team share folders. Unlike before. 

Any tips?

    It sounds like your team now uses the "team space" configuration. You can access the team space via the API, but you'll need to set the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header to do so. You can find information on this in the Team Files Guide.
