Dropbox API suddenly malfunctionning
Hello,
We have been using the Dropbox api in our application for a couple years now and it has always worked flawlesly.

Its sounds like your team recently switched to the "team space" configuration. By default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space", so you wouldn't see anything in the team space when using the API by default. You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header. You can find information on this in the Team Files Guide.

Configuring the api to operate in the team space using the "Dropbox-Api-Path-Root" header fixed the problem.
Thank you
