Trouble enumerating directories in a team space with SwiftyDropbox on macOS

jraymonds First, you should decide if you need your app to be linked to the team or linked to the user. When you use any "team scopes", the app would be linked to the entire team itself. If you don't use any team scopes, the app would be linked to the user account only.

 

If you only need access to user functionality, such as things under FilesRoutes like listFolder/listFolderContinue, it would be best to not enable any team scopes and only use user scopes. That way, the app gets linked to the account and doesn't have unnecessary access to team operations. It would also mean that you don't need to specify the member ID, as its only connected to one account anyway.

 

Also, whether the app is team-linked to user-linked, you would use DropboxClient.withPathRoot to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header if you need to access the team space. Accessing the team space that an connected account has access to doesn't require team scopes. Check out the Team Files Guide for more context on accessing the team space.

 

You can call getCurrentAccount on UsersRoutes using a DropboxClient.

 

So, for a user-linked app, you could do something like this:

 

// DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient is a DropboxClient
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!.users.getCurrentAccount().response { response, error in
    if let account = response {
        let rootNamespaceId = account.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId  // this gets the root namespace ID for the account, which is the team space if the account has a team space
        DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!.withPathRoot(Common.PathRoot.root(rootNamespaceId))  // this sets the root for the client to the root found above, e.g., the team space
        DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!.files.listFolder(path: "").response { response, error in
            if let listing = response {
                print(listing)
            } else {
                print(error!)
            }
        } // and so on, handling the result and calling listFolderContinue as needed
    } else {
        print(error!)
    }
}

 

 

Alternatively, if you do need the app to be team-linked for whatever reason, you would get a DropboxClient from asMember on DropboxTeamClient. You can get a member ID from other methods like tokenGetAuthenticatedAdmin, membersGetInfoV2, membersListV2/membersListContinueV2, etc. on TeamRoutes.
