shareFolderId with folder name
someone shared a folder with me, to upload in that shared folder , the folder must be mounted.
I got the method to mount the shared folder but that required sharefolderId, Till now what I found to get the sharedfolderId is to use ListMountableFoldersAsync method, but that will return all mountable folders
Can we get shareFolderId with folder name.

Hi parvezalam,
Within the same object where you have found "sharedfolderId" must be one more field named "name", if you want to sort/filter by name while using Dropbox API/SDK. 😉
Good luck.

That's correct, the ListMountableFoldersAsync method in the .NET SDK returns a ListFoldersResult with Entries being a list of SharedFolderMetadata. There's a SharedFolderMetadata.Name property that you can use to get the shared folder name.
May be I have not explained the issue properly.
After getting the list I can filter it with name, but question is... I don't want to get entire list, I just want to pass the foldername as param instead of sharefolderId, so that I can fetch the sharefolderId from metadata, otherwise I have to run loop and filter with foldername then get the sharefolderId.
Also is there anyway to check if the folder is already mounted.
Thanks
Hi parvezalam,
I understand what you are asking for, but there is no other way, as far as I know.

...If you take a look on documentation:
Unmounted shared folders can be identified by the absence of SharedFolderMetadata.path_lower.I.e. a folder has been mounted when there is local path (local to the context account) within the metadata. 😉
Hope this helps.
