search (/2/files/search_v2) using multiple paths/regex
Hi, I want to search within multiple folder/subfolders, I tried passing regex/ multiple paths but i got an error for invalid path. Is this possible anyway?
For example I want to search within these 2 paths
/folder1/subfolder1
/folder2/subfolder2
The Dropbox API does not offer the ability to search in multiple paths in a single call, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. Instead, you should issue one call per path.
(Alternatively, you can omit the 'path' entirely, in which case the search will operate on the root and subfolders; you could then filter the results as desired.)
