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".
Greg-DB , I got that part working, but don't totally understand one part, hoping I missed it in the docs somewhere, or that there is a simple explanation. In the code you posted, there was both a for loop and a while loop...
for entry in listing.entries:
print(entry.name)
while listing.has_more:
listing = dbx_admin_team_root.files_list_folder_continue(listing.cursor)
for entry in listing.entries:
print(entry.name)Not sure I understand why i need both of those. Seems like the initial for loop only gets some of the folders/files.....then the while keeps asking for more....but if that is correct, why even bother with the first for loop, why not just use the while listing.has_more loop? Wouldn't that just keep going until all the files/folders were returned, and in this case, had their names printed?
Thanks for clarifying.

Dropbox Community Moderatorphermans In order to scale to folder listings of any size, the list_folder interface is paginated. The API may return the results across multiple pages, and each page can contain multiple files/folders. You need to implement calls to both files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue to make sure you can receive all of the entries.
The first for loop iterates over the results on the first page, from files_list_folder; the while loop then has the app make additional calls to files_list_folder_continue as needed, and the second for loop iterates over the results from those subsequent pages, if any, from files_list_folder_continue.
Check out the files_list_folder documentation for more information on using this functionality.
