A Dropbox namespace is a collection of files and folders that are within a single shared folder, team folder, app folder, or within a team’s root folder or a user’s home folder. Namespaces provide the ability to access these types of folders and their contents without having to specify the entire path the folder is mounted to in each API request. This is beneficial since a folder’s path could differ between users for the same shared folder. Dropbox’s guide to namespaces provides an introduction to namespaces and how to access them via the API. Below, we dive into some of the details with accessing content in team folders and how to get started.
Accessing Team Folders
The first approach we took to access team folder data as a team member was to call the sharing/list_folders endpoint to retrieve a list of shared resources. Filtering out the items where is_team_folder is false lets us identify the team folders to retrieve further metadata on. However, using the folders’ namespace IDs like the Dropbox guide suggests returns a 404 error:
