So far we have covered accessing content in company managed spaces with the Use r API. If her team uses the team folders configuration, we'd get a response like this: In the example above, let's call this endpoint with Sarah's user ID. This is done with the endpoint /users/get_current_account. In order to access files on users’ namespaces, first you need to retrieve the namespace IDs from the API. To root a call to a specific namespace, a caller would need to identify that namespace and indicate it as a target root, as described in the sections below. Data that John does not have permissions for, like Sarah’s folder (1), would not be visible or accessible. This would allow the app to access content accessible to and authorized by John, which would include the member folder and other folders he has access to in the team space. Thus if a caller wished to access the team space, they would need to root their calls to the Acme Dropbox (7). If the team uses the team space configuration, this would not include the Marketing folder (4) within the team space, as it is rooted to the Acme Dropbox (7). If John’s team uses the team folders configuration, this would include the Marketing team folder (4) he has access to.

In the example image above, if a Full Dropbox app authorized by John executed /files/list_folder it would be relative to namespace (6), and allow traversal content within that namespace. For an application with Full Dropbox access, the call is rooted to the team member’s folder by default. When you issue calls with the Dropbox API, the API calls that reference a specific file’s path are limited to the permissions authorized by the access token and relative to the namespace that the call is rooted to.įor an application with App Folder access, the call is rooted to an app folder within the team member’s folder.

Teams using the team folders configuration may be migrated to use a team space, resulting in team folders being moved to the team space.

Other than the new namespace ID added to the Acme Dropbox folder, all other namespace IDs are unchanged.

'Marketing (4)' is a share under the Acme Dropbox team root folder, rather than a team folder mounted to member folders.

The Acme Dropbox team root folder is a parent of both Sarah and John's home Dropbox Folders with namespace ID (7).
