    Hi ,

     

    Yes, what you'll need to do is authenticate as the user whose files / folders you'd like to access, rather than as the app (service account). There are two method for doing this:

    1. Generate a user access token (this is the one I'd recommend) 
    2. Send an as-user header with each request
