    Unfortunately I can not retrieve SubFolder3's shared_folder_id, but only it's parent_shared_folder_id (which refers to FlowFolder).

    Здраси Христо,

    Имаш проблем с намирането на такъв идентификатор просто защото такъв няма. 😉 Прави разлика между споделена директория и обикновена директория! Само (пряко) споделената директория има такъв идентификатор. Всяка друга има само обикновен идентификатор на директория (включително и намиращите се обикновени директории вложени в споделена такава), без идентификато на споделена директория (просто защото не е споделена, поне не пряко). За удобство обикновените директории вложени в споделена имат идентификатори сочещи най-близката обхващаща споделена директория, но нищо повече!

    Надявам се, че горното дава някакви насоки.
