ID of deleted folders
Is there a way to retrieve the IDs of deleted folders? We are trying to use download_zip on some deleted folders and it cannot find deleted folders by path. Are there any alternatives to downloading...
The Dropbox API doesn't return the file/folder ID for DeletedMetadata, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
The /2/files/download and /2/files/download_zip endpoints don't support downloading deleted files/folders though, nor is there another way to do so, so you'd need to restore anything you want to download first anyway. I'll send this along as a feature request as well. I can't promise if or when these might be implemented though.
