Move file from users home folder to admin home folder
Hello im using team space configuration and trying to use this EP - https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/move_v2 to move file from user's home folder to admin home folder and i get 409, tried to ad...
Thanks, i get {'.tag': 'path', 'path': {'.tag': 'not_found'}
i tried using the user's path and also the file id both get similar error - not found/look up error
to be more specific im trying to move file from - {user name}/file1.txt -> {admin name}/file1.txt
using admin client .
You have set either incorrect path or wrong namespace (or both of them). Try list all files/folders in your root (empty path) to see where are you and navigate to the correct path. 😉
Good luck.
Again, i need to move file between different namespaces so john root namespace is X and admin namespace is Y. How could i move file from X namespace to Y namespace?
The problem is the root namespace is different for each user and the admin, and the root namespace for admin list only admin's folder and all the team folder but without all other user's home folder.No, all namespaces (user/member folders, including the one of the admin) are in the same account root of a single account. It sounds like you have different accounts (that by mistake you count as a same). In such a case you can copy desired content in other ways. One possible such a way is to share (possibly temporary) the desired file (or containing folder) between the accounts and do whatever needed (including eventually moving as you're trying). Another possibility is to copy by reference (or by link - shared or temporary). Choose whatever best matches your use case.
PS: Are you sure the account root namespace has been set correctly and not only independent member/admin namespace only? 🤔 If not make it sure! As I said, just list all files/folders with empty path. Is the result showing some member admin folder or the account' root? 🙂 Don't be sure for something you're not, better try/check.
