Thanks, this was useful. The app is scoped to Full Dropbox access, and no header is sent to override the root.
My understanding per this document is that in this case the search should work on all folders within the user's Dropbox folder, including team folders. Am I correct?- Здравко3 years agoLegendary | Level 20

Am I correct?In the topic are described different cases. Only one of them is "root" (in spite all use the same header)! In case of properly set root - Yes, you are correct. In case of set other namespace - your work (including search) will be restricted to particular namespace.
Add: Something that might confuse you is that team folders are not private and not part of user private (home) folder! 😉 Take this into account. What you are seeing on your computer Dropbox folder (for instance) is not only the home folder, but all visible to particular user (team member) folders.
