    Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately, no, I can't think of a more direct or faster way to query that information.

Thank's for the response.

 You have understood me right :)

I have already thought about the solution you suggested but I wondered if there is a simpler, not recursive way to do that (Just get the parent team_folder_id form file_id or ns_id in one call)?

    Hey,

    I have noticed that 'parent_shared_folder_id' value is optional, so I can't always get the team folder for a namespace (file/folders can be not under team folder on Dropbox for enterprise?) 

    I also tried to use "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" for each team folder and see if I got a valid response, but it doesn't work.

      That's correct, 'parent_shared_folder_id' isn't guaranteed to be set. It is only set if the item is inside a shared/team folder. Some or all of a user's files and folders may just be in their own private folder, and not shared with anyone, in which case 'parent_shared_folder_id' will not be set.
