Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Could you please provide sample code snippet to extract size and count from a team folder?

rahulj1 You'll need to write and test your own code to suit your particular use case, but it might look something like this:
import dropbox
dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam(ACCESS_TOKEN).as_user(TEAM_MEMBER_ID)
root_namespace_id = dbx.users_get_current_account().root_info.root_namespace_id
dbx = dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root(root_namespace_id))
total_file_size = 0
total_file_count = 0
def handle_entries(entries):
size = 0
count = 0
for entry in entries:
if (isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FileMetadata)):
size += entry.size
count += 1
return size, count
folder_path = ""
res = dbx.files_list_folder(path=folder_path, recursive=True)
add_file_size, add_file_count = handle_entries(res.entries)
total_file_size += add_file_size
total_file_count += add_file_count
while res.has_more:
res = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(cursor=res.cursor)
add_file_size, add_file_count = handle_entries(res.entries)
total_file_size += add_file_size
total_file_count += add_file_count
print("total file size: " + str(total_file_size))
print("total file count: " + str(total_file_count))
