- In order to list the contents of a folder, such as a team folder, you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]:

Note that this is a user endpoint, so if you have a Business API app, you'd need to have the "team member file access" permission and use the "member file access" feature:

We don't have an official PHP SDK for Dropbox API v2, but you can use a third party library:

Or, you can call the HTTPS endpoints themselves, as you have been:

According to this article: https://www.dropbox.com/help/business/team-folders
I believe that there're two kinds of Dropbox Business Account:
- A: the Dropbox Business account created a long time ago.
- B: the Dropbox Business account created recently. => with Team Space
The /2/files/list_folder lists all the files include team folders of A.
But the /2/files/list_folder lists only the files in the purple folder (private folder) of B.
Is there any way to list team folders and their contents of B's Team Space?
Thank you!

hsin Yes, that's correct. For the newer type B, please refer to the namespace guide, which covers how to access the team space:
