Sharing folders via API with outside email address
Using the Python SDK. I am creating a shared folder and would like to invite someone to collaborate on the folder and I only have the email address.
We are on Dropbox Plus and it is not a team account. Is this possible and if so how would it be done?
I tried using the sharing_add_folder_member, but it does not sure how/where I could add using email address. The variations I get back refer to trying to return str and not AddMember.
I have not been able to findout how to addmember using the API documentation.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide on this.
Thanks.
When using sharing_add_folder_member, you specify the people to invite via the 'members' parameter, which expects a list of AddMember. (Apologies the type isn't more clearly shown there. We'll make a note of that.)
So, you can invite someone to a shared folder using the Python SDK like this:
member_selector = dropbox.sharing.MemberSelector.email("user@example.com") add_member = dropbox.sharing.AddMember(member_selector) members = [add_member] # this can contain more than one member to add res = dbx.sharing_add_folder_member(shared_folder_id, members)Hope this helps!
