8 years agoIf the PathLower is missing, that should indicate that the folder isn't "mounted" in that user's account. (E.g., they have access to it, but haven't added it to their account.)
Are you sure you're looking at the entry for the actual team folder you're looking for? Some accounts may have old/unmounted shared/team folders. Make sure you use both SharingUserRoutes.ListFoldersAsync and SharingUserRoutes.ListFoldersContinueAsync to page through the results if necessary to get everything.
You can also use FilesUserRoutes.ListFolderAsync and FilesUserRoutes.ListFolderContinueAsync to get the actual file/folder listing.

Greg,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I'm not sure how to mount a team Folder to my account.
Here is my list of team folders in the Admin Console:
My account has the folders listed. Are they still not mounted?
I am using the ListFoldersAsync and can get the Share and it's URL:
The problem is I am then using Files.ListFolderAsync (using the previewUrl value) to get the contents of the shared folder and I don't see anything in the metadata for the subfolder that I can use to reference that folder (url or path) to then call ListFolderAsync on the subfolder to get its contents. I tried passing in the "id:" value as the path as documentation for list_folder appears to allow that also (path String(pattern="(/(.|[\r\n])*)?|id:.*|(ns:[0-9]+(/.*)?)") A unique identifier for the file. ) But I get error path not found.
