Upload file to sharing folder using Python Package
I want to figure out how I can upload a file to sharing folder. I have tried following code to upload a file to dropbox. Rather than uploading the file to shared folder "Reports", it uploaded it to m...
urvisheth I see you want to upload a file to a shared folder in your team space, not your own folder. By default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space". You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. You can find information on this in the Team Files Guide. With the Python SDK, you can set that header using the with_path_root method.
Hi urvisheth,
If nothing else has been set, by default all file/folder path are rooted on the user folder, not to something else! On individual accounts user folder match to the account root and that why nothing need to be added. On group account, like business subscription, one account has more users and that's why both folder differs. To access something with account root based path or based to some other namespace, you have to set that namespace, the one that's not the default. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
