Invalid shared folder ID - 409 Conflict when calling sharing/get_folder_metadata
We are trying to migrate our app functionality to deal with the new Team Spaces accounts, but are encountering an issue when trying to access some of the folders returned from /2/sharing/list_folders...
Thanks for the post, and apologies for the confusion. These member folders each have their own shared_folder_id value as they are each a mounted namespace in the context of the team space (even though they're not technically a "shared folder").
Unfortunately there isn't a proper way to exclude or identify these member folders as such, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

marty-greenwell-cloudm, a temporary workaround might be exclusion of all namespaces (shared folders in quotes) with ID that participates to set of 'member_folder_id' constructed using call to /2/team/members/list_v2. 😉
Hope this helps to some extent.
Yeah, I'll have a look at that as it's probably neater than catching a 409.
Thanks for the replies.
Hi, Greg-DB ! I found approach that may be a solution but it would be awesome if you check this😊 What about comparing shared_folder_id with
home_namespace_id gotten from get_current_account response? If this ids are the same then folder is not shared. This is your personal folder. What do you think?I suppose there is no way that personal folder can become shared...
