You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

List ALL file/folder metadata
Is there a way to list "all" file/folder metadata, not restricted to impersonated member access.
Even team admins may not have visibility to all files/folders using User Endpoint files/list_folders...
Yes, you can still use Dropbox Business API apps with the "team member file access" permission via the "member file access" feature to access any team-owned content, e.g., via /2/files/list_folder[/continue], etc., even without specifying a particular member with access. You should use the "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header instead of "Dropbox-API-Select-User" to do so. The "member file access" documentation has some more information on that.

Thanks Greg, exactly what I was looking for.
btw, I appreciate the care you take of this community!
