API can't see new files in APP folder
Hi, I'm having an issue using java/groovy API 3.0.8 and 3.1.1 (latest). I have a local APP, with a few 'old' folders created before 06/27/2019 and 'new' files and folders added after that day. I w...
Thanks for reply, I solved it!
Yes, I am using 'App folder', but it was a different issue - I didn't paginate results using ListFolderResult.getCursor(), as described in this example, because I had just a few items in app root.

Dropbox StaffHello,
I have an idea for what may be causing this confusing behavior. When you're creating an app in the Dropbox developer console, there are two API access types to choose from: 'App folder' and 'Full Dropbox'. You can read about some of the differences here.
It sounds like you may be using an 'App folder' token to make calls that require a 'Full Dropbox' token.
Making a files/list_folder call from an 'App folder' token vs a 'Full Dropbox token' will yield different results and require a different path. A good way to tinker with them and gain a better understanding is the files/list_folder endpoint on the API explorer.
I'd recommend creating another Dropbox app, this time with 'Full Dropbox' access. Please give that a shot and come give me an update!
