Case sensitivity of path_display while creating folders using Dropbox client
If I create nested folders using dropbox client (mixed case) and call list_folder end point (https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder) with recursive=true,
path_display case is only preserved for immediate parent.
This issue does not exist when I create folders using Dropbox web application.
For example, if the folder path created using dropbox client is Zero/One/Two/Three,
path_display = "/zero/one/two/Three"
Yes, unfortunately due to some specifics of how Dropbox is implemented, not all of the path components can be guaranteed to have the expected casing.
You can find more information on this in the "Path formats" section under:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#formats
There's also some information in the documentation for "path_display" if you expand "FileMetadata, e.g., under:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata
