adding team functionality to an existing dropbox app
Hello, I have an app in the app store, backpack studio, that allows access to reading and writing audio files through dropbox.... I have a user that would like me to support dropbox "teams" s...
Yes, that's right. That would use the user's folder, if they're not on a team with a team space, or the team space folder, if they are on a team with the team space. Also, note you can use initWithRoot if you do intend to access the root and want verification mentioned under the "Root" part of the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root Header Modes" section of the Namespace Guide (whereas initWithNamespaceId can be used for any particular namespace the user has access to).
Thank you - so just to clarify from reading the namespace guide - would an objective c implementation that simultaniously supports users on teams and regular users not on teams work like this:
[[client.usersRoutes getCurrentAccount] setResponseBlock:^(DBUSERSFullAccount * _Nullable result, DBNilObject * _Nullable routeError, DBRequestError * _Nullable networkError) {
//get the root namespace id ... will be the home folder if not on a team
NSString *namespaceId = result.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId;
//create a dbcommonpathroot with the namespace id
DBCOMMONPathRoot *cpr = [[DBCOMMONPathRoot alloc] initWithNamespaceId:namespaceId];
// make a new client by calling client with the root object
client = [client withPathRoot:cpr];
//
// call to get folders etc...
Or is there a simpler way i am overlooking?
