RR4360S new dropbox changes require an API header

We have a ReadyNAS RR4360S on the latest firmware (6.10.10).

Dropbox has recently made changes to the team folder configuration.

This affects the Dropbox API in the readynas OS to not be able to see team folders anymore.

 

A small change needs to be made to the Dropbox API Header to fix this:

"Dropbox-API-Path-Root" needs to be added to the header.

Would it be possible to make the change and add it to a new firmware update?

 

 

 

Here is a more detailed explanation from Dropbox:

Up until now, all Dropbox API calls defaulted to the root of a user's account. Under our new folder structure, a user's account contains a folder with their name and all files owned by that person go into that folder. Any "team" folders (think of them like network shares or company managed folders) are in the root alongside the individual's folder. 

 

In reference to the screenshot above....  What is happening is you are dropped into the "Lauren Winslow" folder and can't go back to root to see the "Sales", "Finance", or "Assorted Team Content" folder.  A small change to the path structure in the integration should resolve the issue. "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" needs to be added to the header.
