Update Shared Folder Group Access Type

Is there a way to update a group's access from editor to viewer on a shared folder? I've been able to use the UpdateFolderMemberAsync for users and invitees. Not sure I can use that endpoint with the MemberSelector parameter.

  • Yes, you can use a group ID in a MemberSelector.DropboxId for UpdateFolderMemberAsync, like this:

     

    MemberSelector.DropboxId memberSelector = new MemberSelector.DropboxId(groupId);
    
    MemberAccessLevelResult updateMemberResult = await client.Sharing.UpdateFolderMemberAsync(
        sharedFolderId: sharedFolderId,
        member: memberSelector,
        accessLevel: AccessLevel.Viewer.Instance);
