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:

In the Python SDK in particular, to specify a particular root, you should use `with_path_root`. For example:

or:

dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")
