Getting all files in a team drive

Getting all files in a team drive

Rashti
New member | Level 2

Hi,

I would like to get all of the files in a Team Drive.

So far I have this - 

admin_member_id = self.get_admin_account_access_token().admin_profile.team_member_id
        headers = {}
        headers["Authorization"] = token
        headers["Dropbox-API-Select-User"] = admin_member_id
        headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"

        url = dropbox_constants.DROPBOX_API_BASE + "sharing/list_folders"
        data = json.dumps({})

        res = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
        if not res.status_code == 200:
            return []
        content_json = json.loads(res.content)
        entries = content_json["entries"]

At this point, 'entries' holds shared folders metadata.

I couldn't find any way to retrieve list of files inside the folders out of this metadata.

Would appreciate any help

The /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] endpoints will return the list of shared folders themselves. To list the actual contents of any particular folder(s), you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]. I recommend reading the Content Access Guide for more information.

Need more support?
