Getting a 400 error when choosing the root folder of account or the root of team folder

Hi everybody,
I've run into the following issue last week:
I have a chooser in an app that I work on that is used to choose a path in dropbox:

Both these folders are roots, the first is account root, the second is a teams folder. Whenever I try selecting one of these folders I get a red failed to load request message. The console for this request looks like this:


The rest of the folders inside these two work just fine. I tried looking through the docs and wikis thinking maybe it's some limitation, but didn't find any info. So my question is, is this a bug? Or maybe is this intentional and that's how it should work? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

  • Thanks for the report! The Dropbox Chooser doesn't support choosing team folders or member folders themselves like this. I'll raise this with the team though to see if we can improve the interface or error handling for this.
