Try to Share a Sub-Folder of a Team Folder using API
I can share a Shared folder to a member using
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member
Data: {
"shared_folder_id": "xxxxxxxxx",
"members": [{
"member": {
".tag": "email",
"email": "mymail"
},
"access_level": "viewer"
}],
"quiet": false,
"custom_message": "Documentation for launch day"
}
But I wanted to Share a Sub-Folder to a specific group of internal user so I created a Team Folder to do that.
However I am not sure which api I can call to assign a group to a sub folder under Team Folder.
Can someone please help me out here? I have Business Advance Account.
If you've already created the team folder, you can then share a sub folder under it using /2/sharing/share_folder, and then add the group as a member using /2/sharing/add_folder_member.
That would look like this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/share_folder \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN_MEMBER_ID>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"path\": \"ns:<TEAM_FOLDER_ID>/<SUBFOLDER_NAME>\"}" curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN_MEMBER_ID>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"shared_folder_id\": \"<SHARED_FOLDER_ID>\",\"members\": [{\"member\": {\".tag\": \"dropbox_id\",\"dropbox_id\": \"<GROUP_ID>\"}}]}"
