App Folders and Business access
I am hoping someone can help with this as I am not getting anywhere and am being past from pillar to post between support desks! Previously I have a variety of 3rd party apps intergrated with my pers...
It sounds like you're using the team space and member folders configuration in your Business account. The Dropbox API does offer the ability to access the team space, but the app will need to be written to do so. There's a developer guide that covers how to do that here.
I'm running into the same issue with Zapier. It will only access my personal folder and cannot access the team space. Other than the Goodsync solution, anyone come up with an app to do this? Anyone want to go in together on a developer who can figure this out?
Same issue here with PDF Expert -- has anyone found a solution?

If any particular app isn't supporting access to the "team space", the best solution would be to have the developer of that app update it to do so, so you may wish to contact them to request it. The developer reference for this can be found here, and Dropbox API support is also available to help developers with this.
Dropbox. To say push it onto the App developer seems so silly. I don't understand why Dropbox isn't looking at features that are in their bigger competitors features and simply integrating them. Cantos is a perfect example. Why can't I in dropbox click on any file and say I want it associated with X, Y or Z folder but not actually have to make a complete new duplicate of the file. It seems quite a simple task compared to going through the extremly tedious task of doing a Zapier for each folder or other method. I've read soooooo many complaints about not having a feature like this. The copy feature in business is great but once you've copied it....forget it unless you have some way of syncing the copy that for some silly reason isn't available in dropbox.
