Sharing multiple folder using api

[Akansh Gautam]

I have dropbox team account

I created multiple folders using batch api for folder create

because creating multiple folders using

dbx_client.with_path_root(
    path_root=pr
).sharing_share_folder(path=f"{path}")

always comes up with a async call, I tried with 15 folders sometimes 7 are created sometime 8 this doesn't work properly.

So after using batch api I am trying to share folder with emails in a loop still out of 15 it is only sharing 7 or 8

dbx_client.sharing_add_folder_member(
    shared_folder_id=shared_folder_id,
    members=[
        AddMember(
            access_level=AccessLevel(tag=access_level),
            member=MemberSelector(
                tag="email",
                value=email,
            ),
        )
    ],
)


Are you guys tell me a proper api which can share multiple folders in a single go, I didn't found any

Async calls always miss some folders in sharing. This looks useless.

Help me there asap

Dropbox doesn't offer batch endpoints for sharing multiple folders or adding members to multiple folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

You should avoid making multiple changes at the same time to avoid lock contention, which can cause some to fail.

Whenever an operation returns an async job ID, you should use the corresponding endpoint to check the result of the job, to see if it succeeded or failed and why. For example, for sharing_share_folder you would use sharing_check_share_job_status.
