Dropbox API not returning all files
I am using Django and trying to get the list of all files. My dropbox contains 4149 files but it only returns 3998. Upon checking it seems that the most recent files uploaded to Dropbox isn't showing...
I tried running the code you posted and was able to reproduce the issue of it dropping the last page. Here's a fixed version:
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(oauth_result.access_token) result = dbx.files_list_folder("", recursive=True) file_list = [] def process_entries(entries): for entry in entries: if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FileMetadata): file_list.append([entry.name]) process_entries(result.entries) while result.has_more: result = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(result.cursor) process_entries(result.entries) print(len(file_list))
I even changed that to outside of loop but same results. It doesn't seem to be getting to the while loop at all.

process_entries(result.entries)
print(len(file_list))
Thank you!! It works.
