How to specify folder path in the team level folders.
I want to use the Dropbox API to access the Dropbox for managing my data storage. I am successfully able to connect to dropbox by adding an app by setting appropiate permissions to the app and by gen...
When you didn't specify something else, the default behavior is your member folder to be used as a root (as you find it out already). Team accounts are organized in namespaces (take a look here for more info) and you can select what to be your root in Dropbox Python SDK using with_path_root method.
Hope this gives direction about your main concern.

Hm..🤔 Are you aware that access token is short lived and you will need to regenerate it regularly? To avoid doing it by hand, you can use refresh token. Handy example how you can use it can be seen here. A complete example application may be of your interest too.

Step 4: Make all the files and folders at the folder path to online-only to avoid the local storage to be optimized.I do not know how to do it
You cannot do that, since it's per application setting and you need direct communication to every particular application, where you need to set file status, not to Dropbox server. At present, Dropbox API may communicate to Dropbox servers only, not to installed applications directly.
Thank you for the answers. I will go through the examples and the solutions provided to check if I can access the other folders. Regarding the question on whether I can set the local folders to online-only mode ( By the way, this is possible by right clicking on the respective folder), is your answer that it is not possible programmatically using dropbox APIs?

Exactly, in such a case you're accessing no the cloud folder, but local application folder! 🙂 Hope you can make difference.

As I said, API accesses only the cloud. So, Yes. Let's hope this will be changed, but better don't rely on.
