copy team folder to new team folder
Hi,
I am trying to copy a team folder to a new team folder but I am getting an error 'from_lookup/not_found/.'
Used id:.... format and path, no one works
c# api, code:
using (var dbx = new DropboxTeamClient(tokenMemberFile))
{
var memListResult = await dbx.Team.MembersListAsync();
var memId = memListResult.Members.First(x => x.Profile.Email.Equals(adminEmail))
?.Profile.TeamMemberId;
var folders = await dbx.AsAdmin(memId).Files.ListFolderAsync("");
foreach (var entry in folders.Entries)
{
if (entry.Name.Equals(templateName) && entry.IsFolder)
{
template = entry.AsFolder;
break;
}
}
var copyRet = await dbx.AsAdmin(memId).Files
.CopyV2Async(template.Id,
"/new",true); <-- error- Greg-DB

In order to process a copy in the member's folder like this, you should use AsMember instead of AsAdmin.
(For reference, this is because the /2/files/copy_v2 endpoint uses the "Team Admin" mode for "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin", meaning it can't access the member's private files.)
hello, with member works but I get this error 'to/conflict/folder/...
how can I indicate that I want to copy inside the folder ?
thanks

A 'to/conflict/folder' error indicates that the call failed because there's already a folder at the specified destination path.
If you're trying to a copy a folder to the inside of another folder, your destination path needs to include the desired name of the folder copy itself, in addition to any parent components, and not refer to a path that already exists.
For example, if you have a folder named "folder", and want to make a copy of it inside another pre-existing folder called "parent", your destination path should be "/parent/folder" (not just "/parent").
