Dropbox API Add folder member not working

Dropbox API Add folder member not working

BIMcollab
Helpful | Level 5

Hi,

I am using the AddFolderMemberAsync (.NET SDK) to give access to a shared folder which is created with no access by default(it does not inherit members from parent folder, which is a team folder). Yesterday I noticed that sharing the folder did not work. I ran some tests with Postman as well - I am getting a null response and no exceptions, but the folder is still not shared even after a successful api call

Here is the code I've implemented:


-Creation of the folder
await dbt.AsAdmin(teammemberID).Sharing.ShareFolderAsync("ns:" + FolderId + "/" + Name, null, false, null, null, null, AccessInheritance.NoInherit.Instance);

-Sharing it

await dropboxClient.AsAdmin(teamAdminId).Sharing.AddFolderMemberAsync(SharedFolderId, newViewers);

Any help is appreciated!

Are you getting a response from the first share folder call? That one does have a response object. 

Typically, no response from the Add Folder Member call means that the share was successful, so that is odd. 

Would you mind opening a ticket so we can discuss the specifics of your integration? Just mention that it's about an API integration and it will go directly to me. 

Need more support?
