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.

Thank you guys for your answers and time.
Seems that it will be the hard way 🙂
It's a shame for Dropbox that simple action like that could be done under UI, but not using API.
Wish you all good.
