GET Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours) FROM python sdk
Hello,
I want to obtain the corresponding values for Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours) obteined using the manual export member data in the admin console.
Currently this is my test code:
def get_users_list(token) :
dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam(token)
members = dbx.team_members_list(include_removed= True).members
# Collect member information
member_data = []
for member in members:
member_info = {
"team_member_id": member.profile.team_member_id,
"email": member.profile.email,
"status": str(member.profile.status),
"role": str(member.role)
}
member_data.append(member_info)
# Get the path to the parent directory of the current script's directory
parent_dir_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..'))
# Write user data to a JSON file in the parent directory
json_file_path = os.path.join(parent_dir_path, 'get_users_list.json')
with open(json_file_path, 'w') as json_file:
json.dump(member_data, json_file, indent=4)
print(f"List members data has been written to '{json_file_path}'")
return member_data
def get_team_members(dbx_team) :
members = []
result = dbx_team.team_members_list()
members.extend(result.members)
while result.has_more:
result = dbx_team.team_members_list_continue(result.cursor)
members.extend(result.members)
return members
if __name__ == "__main__":
if access_token:
dbx_team = dropbox.DropboxTeam(access_token)
data = get_users_list(access_token)
specific_member = {
"team_member_id": "xxxxxx",
"email": "xxxxx",
"status": "xxxxx",
"role": "Axxxx"
}
# Procesar solo el miembro específico
user_dbx = dbx_team.as_user(specific_member['team_member_id'])
account_info = user_dbx.users_get_space_usage()
used_bytes = account_info.used
allocation = account_info.allocation
if allocation.is_individual():
total_bytes = allocation.get_individual().allocated
elif allocation.is_team():
total_bytes = allocation.get_team().allocated
else:
total_bytes = 'Desconocido'
used_mb = used_bytes / (1024 ** 2) # Convertir a MB
total_mb = total_bytes / (1024 ** 2) if total_bytes != 'Desconocido' else 'Desconocido'
print(f"Usuario: {specific_member['email']}")
print(f"Espacio utilizado (bytes): {used_bytes}")
print(f"Espacio total (bytes): {total_bytes}")
print(f"Espacio utilizado (MB): {used_mb:.2f}")
print(f"Espacio total (MB): {total_mb}\n")
# Obtener el espacio utilizado y total para el miembro específico usando dbx
account_info = user_dbx.users_get_space_usage()
used = account_info.used
print(f"Espacio utilizado: {used/ (1024 ** 2)} megabytes")
But I only get "Data (MB) member has access to".
this is my test response
this is my test response
Usuario: xxxxxxx
Espacio utilizado (bytes): 12290447226920
Espacio total (bytes): 11922399716966400
Espacio utilizado (MB): 11721083.86
Espacio total (MB): 11370086400.0
Espacio utilizado: 11721083.85 megabytes
| Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours) | Data (MB) member has access to |
| 1.05 | 11,721,083.86 |
To sum up I want to extract Usage (in MB, updates every 8 hours) which in the example is 1.05
Kind regards

Hi adsalguero,
I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Could you clarify what you mean by "But I only get "Data (MB) member has access to"?
Just to confirm, the /users/get_space_usage endpoint returns only "used" and "allocated" space when the user is tagged as ".individual". For members of a team, you receive two "used" properties. The top level "used" property is the user's total space usage, while the "used" property within the "allocation" object property is the total space currently used by the user's team.
In the code snippet you provided, you are calling
users_get_space_usage()twice on the same user. You are also assigning the top level "used" property to bothusedandused_bytesvariables, so it would be expected for these values to be the same:... account_info = user_dbx.users_get_space_usage() used_bytes = account_info.used ... account_info = user_dbx.users_get_space_usage() used = account_info.used ...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)”?

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.
