Api now returning path not found

Hi there,
I am having the exact same issue. I have raised a ticket with Dropbox for this. I think the responses already received here are not fully taking into consideration your comment that nothing has changed, code or directory paths. For me, nothing has changed and I am receiving the same errors. I suspect this may have something to do with the introduction of the new 'personal' and 'team' paths, where the folder root has been essentially split in two (a rough description I know). Earlier in the week I had to fix a number of Zapier integrations with DropBox that started to error at the same time as my HTTP API integrations. In Zapier I had to redefine the 'from path' for each with a definition of the root being 'personal' or 'team'. This was new as of last week.
Furthermore, I have done some testing with the DROPBOX API Explorer and I have noticed that a lot of my team directories are no longer visible when using it to hit the 'list folder' API. For the folders that are visible, my HTTP API calls work, for those that are not I receive an error similar to yours.
I will let you know if I receive anything useful back from Dropbox support.
coadyg, Do you understand that you contradict to yourself? From one side "nothing changed", but in the same time "new 'personal' and 'team' paths"! This is definitely a big change and you have to reflect it in your code (in the path at least and may be not only).

Of course, there are no "team folders" anymore. They are reformatted as team spaces! Consider change your root space of API calls to get access to there.
Hope this gives direction.
Firstly, thanks for your feedback and energy here and I will investigate your suggestion. I am actually not contradicting myself, I am using the 'passive voice' in that sentence which implies that someone/or something has changed it without specifying a subject... pesky grammar
