List_folder does not return shared Bussines folders

Hi,

User has Business dropbox account, and when accessing list_folder with his token we only get folders that are under his Personal Account. The other 2 team business folders are not being returned.
Note: We are not using Dropbox Business API.

When User access Drobox it has 3 folders on UI with the following structure: 
1. Name Surname
2. Some Team Folder
3. Other Team folder

Using node official package

dbx.filesListFolder({
                      path:                                '',
                      recursive:                           false,
                      include_has_explicit_shared_members: true
                   })

The returned entries does contain folders but that is a list of folders on his Personal account listed as first in example above.
Are we doing something wrong?

Thanks for help!
Regards
Alex

    It sounds like the user is on a team with the new team space configuration. There's more information about this in the Namespace Guide.

     

     

     The API v2 JavaScript SDK doesn't yet support the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a request to implement that.

    The "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" functionality is now available in the JavaScript SDK, as of v4.0.15. You can set it using the pathRoot parameter for the Dropbox constructor:

     

    var dbx = new Dropbox.Dropbox({
        accessToken: '<ACCESS_TOKEN>',
        pathRoot: JSON.stringify({".tag": "root", "root": "123456789"})
      });

     

    Please refer to the Namespace Guide for more information on using this feature.
