    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>\"}}]}"
