API endpoint for list of folder names and paths?
Is there an endpoint that will return a list of folder names and paths? Use-case: presenting my users with a dropdown containing various folders they may send a file to.
- Yes, to list files and folders in Dropbox, you should use the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue
To list root, use the empty string "" as the path. To list a non-root path, pass in the path like "/path/to/folder".
