Thank you!

We solved the problem of setting "withPathRoot" by SwiftyDropbox.

For other people has the same problem, I record what I do here.

I set class variable as you said(Most important).

var dropboxClient:DropboxClient?

        dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient
        dropboxClient?.users.getCurrentAccount().response(completionHandler: {user, error in
            
            let rootNamespaceId = user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId
            if rootNamespaceId != nil{
                self.dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId(user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId ?? ""))
            }
            
            self.dropboxClient?.files.listFolder(path: self.filePath).response(completionHandler: {response, error in 
                
                //Parse
                if response?.entries != nil{
                    self.parseDropboxEntries(entries: response!.entries)
                }
                
            })
        })

Thank for your reply.

If I open any Team Scopes and use DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController, When my app jump to the Dropbox app forauthorize, it will show error message.

Spoiler

Error loading app info

An unknow error occurred

If I close all Team Scopes and don't set withPathRoot.

let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId("xxxxxx"))

I can successful get "member folder" (purple) ,but I want to get "team folders" (blue)

Please tell me how to solve this error, thank you :sob:

The "Error loading app info" can occur if you attempt to request scopes that are not enabled for your app. It sounds like your app does not have team scopes enabled, so you should not request them.

You should use withPathRoot to access the team space though. Can you check that you are doing so, and that your "xxxxxx" value is the root namespace ID for the team space? What error/output are you getting for that now?

Let focus on the first question “team scopes”

I set a new app in App Console and create a simple test project for it.
You can see the code here
https://github.com/hanpo/XenBoxTest

You also can see my setting in App Console by images.

If I use ScopeRequest(scopeType: .user, scopes: ["account_info.read"], includeGrantedScopes: false) or DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController, it will show "Error loading app info"

The test project may let you clearly point where I am doing wrong for authoriztion.

Thank you!

  I see, thanks! That's helpful. I see in this sample project that you're requesting a team scope "team_info.read", and it sounds like you have the official Dropbox iOS app installed. When you have the official Dropbox mobile app installed, it will handle the app authorization flow (since the user is likely already signed in there anyway). Unfortunately, it looks like the authorization flow in the official mobile apps doesn't currently work with team scopes in particular though. (I'll bring this up with the team to see if we can get that working.)
  
  If you just want to list the contents of any folders (including team folders/spaces) in the user's account though, you don't actually need any team scopes. You just need 'files.metadata.read' (a user scope) to be able to access the metadata of any folder/space in the connected account.
  
  So, please just use the user scopes (such as 'files.metadata.read') and let me know what trouble, if any, you're still having with listFolder/listFolderContinue. Thanks!

    OK, Team Scopes is all close and only open Individual Scopes.
    
    Then I modify code and commit it for getting team root folders and files.
    You can see the code here
    https://github.com/hanpo/XenBoxTest
    
    Operation is use method loginAction then call method listAction
    
    In method listAction
    let clientWithPathRoot = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId(rootNamespaceIdString ?? "")) clientWithPathRoot?.files.listFolder(path: "" ,includeMountedFolders: true).response(completionHandler: {response, error in print("response:\(response),error:\(error) ") })
    I think clientWithPathRoot maybe not get correct object.
    So, when listFolder will show error
