GET TEAM FOLDER SIZE

Question

Hi,&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to get the folder size for all my team folders. I am excecuting the following code in python using dropbox SDK :&nbsp;&nbsp;import dropboximport dropbox.teamimport timefrom concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutorfrom logging_config import loggerdef team_folder(dbx_team, member_id_admin, save_client😞&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; start_time = time.time()&nbsp; &nbsp; logger.info('Executing extraction of team folders')&nbsp; &nbsp; result = dbx_team.team_team_folder_list()&nbsp; &nbsp; team_folders = result.team_folders&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; folder_details = []&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; for folder in team_folders:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; folder_info = {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "ID": folder.team_folder_id,&nbsp;

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API does not offer a quick way to get the total size of a folder, so you would need to iterate through the contents and sum up all of the sizes of the contents. I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.
