Getting 409 error when calling list_folder on empty folder
I have been consistently getting 409 errors on some empty team folders. I am using Dropbox-Select-API-Admin header and listing team folders recursively. I am using the path to list those folders, tha...
If you're signed in to the Dropbox web site as that user, for instance, you wouldn't see the "Product Management" team folder listed in the user's file listing on https://www.dropbox.com/home . You would see it listed on the team's admin console on https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/team_folders/home though. You could then use the "Manage" button to add a group to it. Once a group is added, if the user is a member of that group, it would be mounted for that user and so listed on https://www.dropbox.com/home .
Likewise, via the API, you can add a group using the /2/sharing/add_folder_member endpoint, like this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN TEAM MEMBER ID>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"shared_folder_id\": \"<TEAM FOLDER ID>\",\"members\": [{\"member\": {\".tag\": \"dropbox_id\",\"dropbox_id\": \"<GROUP ID>\"}}]}"
And my other question is about include_mounted_folders param. How does it work? I know if I set it to false when listing team member's folders, then I am only going to get unshared folders (i.e. no app/team/shared folders), but how it does it behave when I set it to false when listing team folders? For example, a team folder may contain folders that have been shared so they appear as a shared folder in namespace. Now when I list the team folder with `include_mounted_folders` set as False, wouldn't I get the shared folders and their contents in response?
