Need an API for downloading a team folder to local folder
Hi Guys,
Is there any one have API (Python) to download a folder to local folder. download a file works but need to have an idea for downloading a dropbox team folder to local folder via API script.
Any help would be appreciated.

With the Dropbox Python SDK, you can use the files_download_zip or files_download_zip_to_file method to download an entire folder.
If a folder is too big though (see above documentation), you'll need to instead loop through each file in the desired folder and download it individually using files_download or files_download_to_file.
