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 Namespaces in API
Is it intentional that the Dropbox API also lists out the deleted folders (but it does not list out the permanently deleted) ?
Thanks for following up and clarifying. Yes, that's expected. When you delete a shared folder from an account, for instance, that doesn't actually destroy the namespace; it just removes or "unmounts" the shared folder from the account, but it can be re-added later.

Dropbox StaffTo make sure I understand the scenario you're asking about properly, can you share the endpoint/method you're referring to, as well as the particular parameters/values you're using with it? Thanks in advance!
The endpoint is :
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/namespaces/list
With the following parameters:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/namespaces/list \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ***access token****" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"limit\": 100}"This lists all the namespaces which are also deleted. So is this an expected functionality?
