Dropbox root folder path variants home and work

I found Dropbox's web interface has two types of folders at the root level: 'home' and 'work'. What is the difference between these? Can I use any API to determine which folder is being used?

    Takashi Homma Thanks for the context. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way of constructing those non-shared web site URLs, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

You (or your app user) can use any folder that the user has access to, so "which folder is being used" - not clear what you're asking for actually. If you want to know the types of folders (or namespaces) you can use /2/team/namespaces/list.

Good luck.
