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

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".

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.

6 years agoIt 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-DB6 years ago

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.
