Shared Folder Limit on Team Account
Hi Team,
I am working on Team Account for development majorly on sharing folder and shared folders.
Code for sharing folder
try:
response = dbx_client.with_path_root(
path_root=pr
).sharing_share_folder(path=f"{path}", force_async=force_async)
if response.is_complete():
return response.get_complete()
return response
except DropboxException as e:
Logger.info(e)
Suddenly this api starts giving error, after some logs i found error (below)
re=dbx_client.with_path_root(path_root=pr).sharing_share_folder(path="/AppsTest/Cases/Beta/Demo_")

After reading some discussion I found that I can create only 1500 shared folder inside a folder and 300000 for overall team account.
My questions:
1. Does base folder also included in count
example in my root folder the struture is /AppsTest/Cases.....
I am creating shared folder inside AppsTest (not able to create now)
2. Is there any api for shared folder count or any other workout to get exact number of count of shared folders in side root folder.
Please reply asap.
Thanks and Regards
1. No, the count for this limit is only referring to shared folders, not unshared parent folders.
2. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just retrieve the current count with the Python SDK, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You can use sharing_list_folders and sharing_list_folders_continue to list and count shared folders as needed however.
