How to get team root folder by SwiftyDropbox?
Hi Dropbox Forum,
I want to get team root folder by SwiftyDropbox. but fail.
this is what I do
1.Set .plist file
2.Set AppKey in AppDelegate
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithA...
Thank you!
We solved the problem of setting "withPathRoot" by SwiftyDropbox.
For other people has the same problem, I record what I do here.
I set class variable as you said(Most important).
var dropboxClient:DropboxClient?login then do those things
dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient dropboxClient?.users.getCurrentAccount().response(completionHandler: {user, error in let rootNamespaceId = user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId if rootNamespaceId != nil{ self.dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId(user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId ?? "")) } self.dropboxClient?.files.listFolder(path: self.filePath).response(completionHandler: {response, error in //Parse if response?.entries != nil{ self.parseDropboxEntries(entries: response!.entries) } }) })

Dropbox StaffI see you're using a 'client' object defined in your 'getList' method. It's possible this client object is going out of scope before the request finishes, which could cause this kind of failure. (API calls are made asynchronously, as they require network calls.) You should keep that client object in scope instead. For instance, you can save it as a variable in the relevant class itself.
For reference, using the withPathRoot method is the right way to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header in the Dropbox Swift SDK.
Thank for your reply.
If I open any Team Scopes and use DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController, When my app jump to the Dropbox app forauthorize, it will show error message.
Spoiler
Error loading app info
An unknow error occurred
If I close all Team Scopes and don't set withPathRoot.
let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId("xxxxxx"))I can successful get "member folder" (purple) ,but I want to get "team folders" (blue)
Please tell me how to solve this error, thank you :sob:

The "Error loading app info" can occur if you attempt to request scopes that are not enabled for your app. It sounds like your app does not have team scopes enabled, so you should not request them.
You should use withPathRoot to access the team space though. Can you check that you are doing so, and that your "xxxxxx" value is the root namespace ID for the team space? What error/output are you getting for that now?
Let focus on the first question “team scopes”
I set a new app in App Console and create a simple test project for it.
You can see the code here
https://github.com/hanpo/XenBoxTest
You also can see my setting in App Console by images.
If I use ScopeRequest(scopeType: .user, scopes: ["account_info.read"], includeGrantedScopes: false) or DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController, it will show "Error loading app info"
The test project may let you clearly point where I am doing wrong for authoriztion.
Thank you!

I see, thanks! That's helpful. I see in this sample project that you're requesting a team scope "team_info.read", and it sounds like you have the official Dropbox iOS app installed. When you have the official Dropbox mobile app installed, it will handle the app authorization flow (since the user is likely already signed in there anyway). Unfortunately, it looks like the authorization flow in the official mobile apps doesn't currently work with team scopes in particular though. (I'll bring this up with the team to see if we can get that working.)
If you just want to list the contents of any folders (including team folders/spaces) in the user's account though, you don't actually need any team scopes. You just need 'files.metadata.read' (a user scope) to be able to access the metadata of any folder/space in the connected account.
So, please just use the user scopes (such as 'files.metadata.read') and let me know what trouble, if any, you're still having with listFolder/listFolderContinue. Thanks!
