List content of Team forlders Within Python SDK

[trayer72]

Hi,

I'm trying to list all the files contained in a dropbox business team folder.

I'm using the official Python SDK.

I tried to use the dropbox.DropboxTeam class.

Here is my code : 

dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam("<TOKEN>");

I can list all the namespaces availables with : 

for entry in dbx.team_namespaces_list().namespaces:
    print(entry.namespace_id +" / "+entry.name)

When i use the team_team_folder_list() :

for entry in dbx.team_team_folder_list().team_folders:
    print(entry)

I retrieve the top-level folder which is the shared workspace.

Then i want to list all the files and folder in this directory : 

p = dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("<TEAM_FOLDER_ID>")
for entry in dbx.with_path_root(p).team_team_folder_list().team_folders:
    print(entry)

I always get the error : 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dropbox_hausfeld.py", line 40, in <module>
    for entry in dbx.with_path_root(p).team_team_folder_list().team_folders:

dropbox.exceptions.BadInputError: BadInputError('00f98974766854e558110eec5a014ed7', 'Error in call to API function "team/team_folder/list": Unexpected path root value in HTTP header "Dropbox-API-Path-Root": "{\\".tag\\": \\"namespace_id\\", \\"namespace_id\\": \\"<TEAM_FOLDER_ID>\\"}"')

Is this the good way to do it ? How can i solve the issue ?

How can i access all the files in a team dropbox ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Thomas.

Setting a path root isn't required or expected when calling team-level endpoints such as team_team_folder_list. It is only supported for user-level filesystem endpoints.

Further, team_team_folder_list is only for listing the team folders themselves. To list the contents of any particular folder, you should use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue instead. Since you have a Dropbox Business API access token, for a team, setting that up would look like this:

dbx_as_user = dropbox.DropboxTeam("<TOKEN>").with_path_root(p).as_user(member_id)
dbx_as_user.files_list_folder("")

This uses as_user to set a particular user to operate as, returning a Dropbox object.

You can first get the team member ID, for the member_id value in the sample above, from various places via a DropboxTeam object, such as team_members_list/team_members_list_continue, or team_members_get_info.

You can find more information on the path root and member file access features, respectively, in the Namespace Guide and Member file access documentation.
