Access team folders - Old Business Team Configuration
I understand that with the new team spaces and namespace configurations, that we would have to use 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header and I've managed to get it working by setting the namespace to the ro...
Yes, on the Dropbox Business API, you can use the /2/team/features/get_values endpoint to check the 'has_team_shared_dropbox' feature to see if the team uses the team space configuration.
Or, on the Dropbox API, you can call /2/users/get_current_account and check the returned RootInfo type to see if the user is a member of a team that uses the team space configuration. Specifically, the returned 'root_info' will be a 'UserRootInfo' (with '.tag' of 'user') if the team doesn't use the team space, or a 'TeamRootInfo' (with a '.tag' of 'team') if it does.
If you're using the "team member file access" feature, and want to operate on a particular user only, you should use the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" header. (The "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header is for access any team owned content in general.) And for listing any/all files in a user's account, you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]. (The /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] endpoints, on the other hand, only list the shared folders in particular, and not their contents.)

Dropbox StaffWe unfortunately don't have a way for developers to get test accounts like this, with this feature toggle-able, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
For reference, I do recommend reviewing the Namespace Guide and Content Access Guide, if you haven't already, as they are good references for this.
In accounts on teams that don't use the "team space" configuration, any team folders that an account has access to are "mounted" in the account's root. That means that using list_folder[_continue] to list the root (using the empty string "" as the path value) will list both their personal folders as well as the team folders they have. Make sure you do check the has_more value returned by list_folder though, to see if you need to call back to list_folder_continue, and so on, to get more entries.
Is there any update to the request on how a developer can test across versions of Team Space and Team Folders. We have a client who has an older account and has no immediate desire to update. But we need to be able to support both them and any new clients who have the newer functionality.
Is there a way to request an 'older' account? even if it comes at a cost. Asking a large multi national for access to their account to test isn't a scalable solution moving forward.
How do developers without an old account currently test across the two styles of working before we publish to clients?
