download file of another user in my team

[saarbeli]

Hi,

I'm tryring to use the endpoint "files/download" to download content of another user in my team. Even if I'm using the header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" and the namespace root of the user, I get in response 409 with the message "path/not_found..".

Any idea why? And there is another way to download file's content of another user?

Thanks

Using /2/files/download is the correct way to download file content. I just tried this, and it is working properly for me. Can you double check that you have the correct path? This error should just indicate that there was nothing found at that path for that user. You can use /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to list items.

It works when the file is in my account.

However, when I try to download file that is in someone else account, using admin permission (Dropbox-API-Select-Admin) with admin id, I get an error

Is the path correct for their account? They may have a different folder structure. I recommend using list_folder to inspect the folder structure first. (E.g., if you use the "" path, an empty string, you can list the root folder.)
