    vas1992 Здравко is correct; here's what a simple usage of this may look like:

    allocation = dbx.users_get_space_usage().allocation
if allocation.is_individual():
    print("Individual allocation:")
    print(allocation.get_individual().allocated)
elif allocation.is_team():
    print("Team allocation:")
    print(allocation.get_team().allocated)

I don't know how to extract "allocated" from here.

Hi vas1992,

You can do it like any other field on any other object in Python (as programing language). Just read what you have got in documentation. 'users_get_space_usage' method returns SpaceUsage class object. You have successful get in touch to 'used' field of this object (type int). 👍

The other field of the same object - 'allocation' - is not basic type, but another object! The object's type is SpaceAllocation - an union of individual and team allocation data. Since your account is individual (in the particular case, but you should check it in a common case), 'get_individual' method is applicable. This method result is of type IndividualSpaceAllocation class. I believe it's easy to see that field 'allocated' can be accessed here (int type) in the same way you are accessing 'used' field before. 😉 Take a look here too.

Hope this clarifies matter.

Something I did not understand at all. It is possible as much as possible in detail, for stupid?

 

I use:

 

print(dropbox.users.SpaceAllocation('individual', value=None).get_individual())

 

I am getting an error:


Traceback (most recent call last):

    Of course, when you are using invalid object, errors can be expected. Even more, would be strange if it passes without error.
