get folder metadata by id
Is there any api to get folder metadata by folder id?
- 8 years agoYes, you can supply a file/folder ID in the 'path' parameter for /2/files/get_metadata:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata
The same applies to the respective method in the official SDKs. For example, in the API v2 Java SDK:
