Write File to Team location - Python API
Hi,
I have a simple python script to write a file to Dropbox. The issue I'm having is this only seems to give me access to my user area and I need to write the file to the team area. I have read documentation but am struggling to find any simple examples using the python API.
Thanks
Matt
import dropbox
access_token = '*************************************'
file_from = 'test.txt'
file_to = '/test_dropbox/test.txt'
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(access_token)
with open(file_from, 'rb') as f:
dbx.files_upload(f.read(), file_to)

It sounds like your team is using the "team space" configuration. You can access the team space via the API. To do so, you'll need to use the namespace IDs to specify which area you want to access. I recommend reading the Namespace Guide, which covers this in detail:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/namespace-guide
In the Python SDK in particular, to specify a particular root, you should use `with_path_root`. For example:dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")or:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")
