Fail updating folder member
Hi, I am running into a problem when calling sharing/update_folder_member . The error is {"error_summary": "access_error/not_a_member/.", "error": {".tag": "access_error", "access_error": {".ta...
The /2/sharing/update_folder_member endpoint does support the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header, but only in the "Team Admin" mode, meaning it can "access content of team folders and team spaces but not the team members' home namespaces". So, for example, if that namespace is for a shared folder in the account's home namespace, you can't use the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header and would need to instead use the Dropbox-API-Select-User header.
As for the version of the call where you do use the Dropbox-API-Select-User header, as Здравко noted, it looks like that did succeed, but returned a confusing warning message. For reference, if you print out the status code, I expect it is a 200, indicating success. I'll ask the team to look into this to correct that confusing warning message though.

Dropbox Staffmikechiu If you're still having trouble with /2/sharing/update_folder_member, as Здравко said, please share the details of the /2/sharing/update_folder_member call so we can take a look.
Sorry it's my bad, I forgot to upload the request I made.
Below is the requests I've made:
As you can see, I use the owner as Dropbox-API-Select-Admin and Dropbox-API-Select-User, and used the member selector from email to dropbox-id, all requests failed.
Please help check if anything wrong or wrong parameters I put in the request. thanks.
mikechiu, Your last call succeeds actually. 😉
There is some kind of warning. To be honest I don't know why this is. Greg will tell us what's warned.
Just ignore the warning and congratulations - you succeeded.
PS: For sure there is some bug in this API endpoint. I believe will be fixed once already known.
Здравко oh, yes, I think you're right, the response of the list folder members showing that the access type is viewer now. And yes the message is pretty confusing tho. 😂
And I was wondering why the previous 3 requests failed ? As the document mentioned this API accepts Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header and actually I'd prefer to using this header.
Still need more information on it.
