Good morning,
We are now using the data provided by the Member Data Report, which I extract from the Dropbox Business reports. This report includes two columns: “Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours)” and “Data (MB) member has access to.” The first column represents the space used by the user, while the second column shows the space that the user can see. Therefore, when I said, “But I only get ‘Data (MB) member has access to,’” I meant that I cannot retrieve the space used by a particular user.
For example:
User 1 has 30 MB of their own storage, not shared with anyone else. The same user is also in a shared folder or team folder and can see 3 TB of files. I want to get the 30 MB, but no matter which code I use, I get 3 TB.
Using:
user_dbx = dbx_team.as_user(specific_member['team_member_id'])
account_info = user_dbx.users_get_space_usage()
Shouldn’t this be the data related to “Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours)”?
Regards

Thank you for clarifying. The value stored in the "user_within_team_space_used_cached" property should match the value in the "Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours)" column.
