Listing folder and specify a depth level of recursivity

Is it possible to specify a depth level of recursivity when reading a folder as below ?

ListFolderResult folderResult = client.files().listFolderBuilder(target) .withRecursive(true)

.start();

I don't see anything obvious in the doc: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/ListFolderBuilder.html

Thanks

No, unfortunately the API doesn't offer the ability to set a specific depth of entries to return, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
