Not able to get team folders or files using python sdk
Python SDK, Not Able to get files and folders where I'm using dropbox business API access token
output = dbx.DropboxTeam(_dropbox_token).as_admin(ng_member_id).files_list_folder("").entries ...
What is the value of your '_team_name_space_id' variable?
Based on the error output you shared, if you want to list the contents of the team space, you should set your '_team_name_space_id' variable to "5632093280".

There are two things to note here that may be preventing you from listing everything you're expecting:
- The files_list_folder method isn't guaranteed to return everything in the requested folder. You need to always check the returned ListFolderResult.has_more value and if it's True, call back to files_list_folder_continue to get more results, as documented in the files_list_folder documentation.
- Dropbox API calls operate in the team member folder by default. If you're on a team with the team space configuration, that won't include your team space folders. You can access the team space though, using the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header, as covered in the Namespace Guide. To set that in the Python SDK, you should use the with_path_root method. Your 'files_list_folder' code would then look something like:
output = dbx.DropboxTeam(_dropbox_token).with_path_root(dbx.common.PathRoot.root(team_space_namespace_id)).as_admin(ng_member_id).files_list_folder("").entries
print(output)
Thanks for the solution,
I have tried the above code
dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam(_dropbox_token).as_user(ng_member_id)
output = dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root(_team_name_space_id)).files_list_folder("").entries
print(output)Its giving me the error :
('8928caa6ce35a895296b45e5d694ddfe', 'Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account
t, but the OAuth 2 access token you provided is for an entire Dropbox Business team. Since your API app key has team member file access permissions, you can operate on a team member\'s Dropbox by providing the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" HTTP header or "select_user"
Note: I'm the admin and have Permission Type: Team Member file access in business API
Thanks for your solution.

It looks like there's currently an issue with the Python SDK if you use 'as_user' or 'as_admin' before 'with_path_root'. I'll ask the team to fix that up.
As a workaround, please use 'with_path_root' before 'as_user' or 'as_admin', as in the example in my previous comment.
When I try to do with your reference code this exist with error
dropbox.exceptions.PathRootError: PathRootError('8255e7bee11bfaa054cc966323944b00', PathRootError('invalid_root', TeamRootInfo(root_namespace_id='5632093280', home_namespace_id='6821388560'
, home_path='/Gopal N')))
please suggest the solution.- Greg-DB

For reference, the issue of not being able to use 'as_user' or 'as_admin' before 'with_path_root' should now be fixed as of v10.3.0 of the Dropbox Python SDK.
