coadyg From your description, it sounds like you're referring to your team using the "team space". You'd need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header to your 'root_namespace_id' as described in the Team Files Guide to be able to access the contents of the team space.

Hello Greg,
Thank you for the document. Educating myself on the topic of root namespace, their ids and the related HTTP headers did the trick. We use the Team Space configuration so adding the header worked for my API calls.
One comment that I'd like to add is that before October this wasn't a requirement, i.e. The same calls were working before adding these headers. So something in the mix has changed (moved from optional to mandatory, or some default behaviour has changed).
Thanks again
