Hello,
Thanks for you answer.
If i use a business account and setup a shared folder can i access it trough the api ?

Yes, you can register an app for "full Dropbox" access, if you haven't already, and use that to interact with any shared folders in the connected accounts of your users. This doesn't require a Business account in particular; any kind of account can use shared folders.
You can find information on interacting with the sharing functionality on the API in the Sharing Guide. You can find the documentation sharing functionality in the SwiftyDropbox library here.
