Dropbox EngineerHello @deeptir94,
As mentioned by Здравко, by default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate within the "member folder" of the connected account. You can configure the API calls to operate in the team space that is outside of the "member folder" by setting the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header in your Dropbox API request.
Below I have provided an example "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header value to access the team space:
Dropbox-Api-Path-Root: {".tag": "root", "root": "YOUR_ROOT_NAMESPACE_ID"}You should be able to identify the root_namespace_id by executing the 2/users/get_current_account endpoint. You can also test the 2/users/get_current_account endpoint using our Dropbox API explorer.
