I get a list of the user's files and then filter it to show only the music files. But I also want to see subfolders. How should I set up my filter for this? Could you help me. My function where I ge...
To check if a particular entry is a file or a folder, you can check the type of the entry, such as by switching on it as shown in this example.
Hi Viyalexhab,
How do you declare the variable fileList?
I'm trying t do the same thing, so I can append the files to it. But I can't figure out what type of variable you need to use to be able to append.
Thanks!

roggerCorrea It looks like fileList would be an array, perhaps initialized like 'var fileList = [Any]()', or maybe more ideally 'var fileList = [Files.Metadata]()'.
Your cast is failing because you're attempting to cast the entire array of Metadata, that is, your 'response', which is the listFolderResult?.entries, instead of individual Metadata entries.
You should instead first iterate over the entries to get each entry, like the 'for entry in result.entries {' line in the original post shows.
Hi Greg, thank you so much. I'm new to Swift and still figuring out many things.
This was of great help!
