Hi peeps,
By default, Dropbox API always access user folder as default namespace. For accounts that user folder give access to all data particular user has access to (i.e. personal accounts and business account with team folders configuration), it's ok - you don't need to do anything in addition - the default is fine. For accounts which user folders are subfolders in the account root (business account with team space configuration - as yours seems to be) team spaces are outside your member folder (note team spaces, not classical folders) and that's why the default configuration doesn't work for you. You still have the same access but the folders you're looking for are outside your member folder and that's why stay "invisible". Such folders to become visible (spaces actually), you have to change your API root to match to the account root, not to member's folder (for such accounts they are different things). Changing root can be done using "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" HTTP header. 😉 Take a look here for more info.
Hope this helps.

Same issue, if you look at the "list_folders" api, I am pretty sure you will find all the old teams folder if you have the header
include_deleted (optional)
set to True, I can't even get my team members ID, the request give me a 500 error

It worked for me, but some third party app like Make.com (New naming for Intergromat) doesn't allow me to add a header inside their module, is there a way to permanently change an account API-Path-Root like it was before the Saturday update ?

No there is no way to change API root permanently. It is and always has been the user/member folder by default - i.e. nothing changed in this regards. The only changed thing is (as you described) your account configuration, that puts your team folders outside your user folder as team spaces. 🙋 That's it, nothing more.
About other third party providers, contact them to inform for the imperfection on their end:
