It looks like you have the output of /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue]. This will give you the namespace ID of shared folders, etc., for the team, but the path can vary for each member of the shared folder. To get the path for any given member, you'd need to look up the shared folder using their account.
For instance, you can do so using /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata using the namespace_id as the shared_folder_id. If your app/access token is connected to the team itself, you'd need to use the "member file access" feature to operate on a specific team member.
You may also want to check out the File Access Guide and Team Files Guide for more reference.

If the path is not present, that means that it is not mounted for that user, per the documentation:
path_lower
String? The lower-cased full path of this shared folder. Absent for unmounted folders. This field is optional.- L3monxx3 years agoExplorer | Level 3
I don't really understand, the user owns the ns and doesn't have it mounted?
