https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_folders should return all folders user can access?

Hi, I've been looking at the below endpoint, forgive me if this is a silly question. Should this return all folders I can access in the dropbox ui? https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_folde...

I see, thanks for clarifying. The /sharing/list_folders endpoint isn't supposed to list "SUB FOLDER" in that case, as that is just a normal folder inside a shared folder, and not a shared folder itself. 

You can use /files/list_folder[/continue] to list the contents of "FOLDER".
