    ..., and now I want to view a folder list with items + see their properties. I get this error: 

      "Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: include_property_groups.filter_some: expected list, got string".
      Here is my code below. What format is expecting for "include_property_group"?

    Even when you have one property group it should be a list with one entry, not just a single string, as you have passed. If you take a look on 'filter_some', you will see that expected type is list, not something else (list of ids, not just one id itself - even when it's alone). Wrap your id' string with array.
