SwiftyDropbox - retrieve the paths of all files and folders in the root directory
Hi all, I need help, I have set the SwiftyDropbox SDK in my IOS project, and I am able to do the OAuth process successfully :
and i get my dropbox account info when i ask the API:
...
I dont see any mistake .....
1. The dropboxOAuth() func, returned me the Token i need for later use.
That is working and I can re-Auth with that Token later.
2. The getCurrentAccountDropboxInfo()func, also working as i am getting all my account info when I run it.
3. What i have problems is the listFilesInRootDropbox()func....as its working but I got this response (which doest make sense to me as I expected to get the list of all my folders and files in the the Root of my Dropbox folder.....:
Hm... 🤔 Ok, but the result gets printed out from "line 3177" on one side and code you show appears on "line 322"on other side. Isn't a bit strange? 🧐
no no , the name/num of the "line 3177" is random text not the real code line number.
I get why confused , but that is irrelevant for the response i get from API.
Can anyone clarify it for me ?- Greg-DB

YanivB I see you're getting an empty list back from listFolder, so it looks like you may be using an app with the "app folder" access type. Apps with the app folder access type can only access the app folder automatically created for it. App folders are empty by default, so you would initially get an empty listing like this.
If you want to access the rest of your account, not an app folder, you'd need to switch to using an app with the "full Dropbox" access type instead. If you do so, be sure to reauthorize with the full Dropbox app to get an access/refresh token for that app instead.
