Setting Dropbox-API-Path-Root Header to Access Team Folders

[tommy-ec]

I am currently utilizing the Dropbox PHP SDK within my project to automate the uploading of files from our server to Dropbox.

However, due to a recent migration of our Dropbox account to a "team space", I'm unable to access our core team folder because I have not found a way to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header within the SDK.

The challenge at hand is setting the SDK to define the team space as root so that it recognizes the correct directory structure for our team folders.

Through the Dropbox Team Files Guide (https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-team-files-guide), it's clear that this functionality should be possible, but the SDK's current documentation does not explicitly outline how to accomplish this, hence my confusion and inability to implement the required changes.

Is there a way to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header within the SDK? Alternatively, do you have any recommendations on how to correctly address the 'team space' to access team files using the SDK?

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

@muhohokenya - Unfortunately, a straightforward solution within the SDK wasn't found. To circumvent the problem, I created a shared folder and manually copied over the contents of the team folder before archiving the original team folder.

This move, while effective in ensuring our systems continued functioning, didn't come without its drawbacks. All existing sharing options and links were disrupted as a result. It was a challenging decision, but necessary given the circumstances.

It might not be the most elegant solution, but it served the purpose for the time being. It's my hope that Dropbox or the SDK will introduce a more streamlined solution for this specific situation in the near future.

@tommy-ec It's amazing how you got the solution. I spent sometime as well, I copied the files from the src and updated the DropboxClient where I added Dropbox-API-Path-Root under the prepareRequest() method. It wasn't
the best approach but I needed the solution ASAP. Am glad you raised this issue and hoping it resolved as soon as possible.
