How to obtain shared folder metadata after calling endpoint /2/sharing/share_folder
Hi everybody,
yesterday our Team Dropbox has been converted to shared team space.
Now our API (REST calls via HTTP) we've developed during the last months is completely broken since we cannot cre...

If you want to create a folder inside the team space, you can use /2/files/create_folder_v2 with the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header set to the team space. See the guide above for information on using that header.
If/when you use /2/sharing/share_folder to create a shared folder and get back an 'async_job_id', you should use /2/sharing/check_share_job_status (not /2/sharing/check_job_status) to check the result of the share job and receive the resulting metadata when it's complete.
Hi Greg,
many thanks. Yes, switching to the /2/sharing/check_share_job_status endpoint did the trick and I already see some silver lining 😃
I've another question regarding access inheritance.
Our scenario will look like this:
We'll have multiple apps where each app will be bound to a corresponding shared folder inside our new team space (as virtual root).
Each app will be operated by different users, so it would make sense not to inherit the team space to these folders, won't it?
Will adding users to a shared folder work as before when using the team folder api (creating a group, add this group to the folder, adding users to the group)?
Thanks again and best regards,
Jan
