Uploading to team folders seemingly unsupported
API : python We have a paid business account. There are folders that are at the root of our business account that are shared with everyone on our team. We would like to be able to upload files, u...
It sounds like your team is using the "team space" configuration. You can upload to the team root via the API. To do so, you'll need to use the namespace IDs to specify which area you want to access. I recommend reading the Namespace Guide, which covers this in detail:

In the Python SDK in particular, to specify a particular root, you should use `with_path_root`. For example:dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")or:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")

That worked great.
I noticed that both 'dropbox.common.PathRoot' and 'with_path_root' are not mentioned in the python api documentation. To help aid anyone in the future with this same problem, it would be very helpful to add this to the documentation.
Thanks again for the help.
