If the team uses Team Spaces, this would not include the Marketing Folder (4) within the team space - as it rooted to the Acme Dropbox (7).

If John’s team uses Team Folders, this would include the Marketing Team Folder (4) he has access to. In the example image above, if a Full Dropbox app authorized by John executed /files/list_folder - it would be relative to namespace (6), and allow traversal content within that namespace. For an application with Full Dropbox access, the call is rooted to the team member’s folder by default. When you issue calls with the Dropbox API, the API calls that reference a specific file’s path are limited to the permissions authorized by the access token and relative to the namespace that the call is rooted to.įor an application with App Folder access, the call is rooted to a folder within the team member’s folder. Other than the new Namespace ID added to the Acme Dropbox folder, all other namespace IDs are unchanged.

'Marketing (4)' is a share under the Acme Dropbox team root folder, rather than a team folder mounted to member folders.

The Acme Dropbox team root folder is a parent of both Sarah and John's home Dropbox Folders with namespace ID (7).
