List of namespaces with no information
When I list the namespaces using "namespaces/list" and iterating through the namespaces using "files/list_folder[/continue]" I found that there are a few namespaces which I thought wouldn't be there,...
Thanks! That helps clarify a bit. One important thing to note: just "deleting" a shared folder from an account does not destroy the namespace for that shared folder. ("Unsharing" the shared folder would.) Deleting a shared folder is just a way to "leave" the shared folder, i.e., to remove yourself as a member.
Anyway, if you're still seeing anything unexpected and want us to check on this for you specifically, please open an API ticket with the relevant API requests/responses. Make sure to redact the access token though.
I don't remember exactly how the shared folder came into place, but from the activity log, it shows this:
| Aug'18 | Non member (Unspecified email) | Added a file (File:"filepath") |
* No idea why the member has unspecified email but other deleted users have their emails
I did the following to try reproduce it:
- I have 2 users, 1 admin and 1 member
- Member creates a folder within member's personal space, adds a file and shares it with the admin
- Admin accepts the invite and added to their personal space
- Admin deletes the shared folder from their personal space
- Admin deletes the member account
- Admin permanently deleted the deleted folder
I'm not sure if the "permanently delete" action triggered an update, but once I did it, some of the namespaces were corrected, and the particular shared folder's namespace is gone.
I'm not sure how I would be able to have you take a look at the state of my deveolpment dropbox business account without giving you an access token. Please advise on further steps.
