It sounds like you're referring to shared folders that have been shared with the account, but which have not yet been added or "mounted" in the account. The SharingUserRoutes.ListFolders and SharingUserRoutes.ListFoldersContinue methods will list all of the shared folders the user has access to, whether or not the folders have been mounted. If the path values are missing, it indicates that the shared folder is not mounted.

The FilesUserRoutes.ListFolder and FilesUserRoutes.ListFolderContinue results will not list shared folders that have not been mounted.

    You can find information on how to add or "mount" a shared folder in your account using the Dropbox web UI in this help article:

    https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/add-shared-folder

    On https://www.dropbox.com/share/folders , folders that are listed as "Not added" are not currently added or "mounted" in the account.

    If you do see a shared folder in the actual file/folder listing, e.g., under your purple member folder, that means it is mounted.

    I'm not sure I understand the question in your most recent comment though. What folder are you referring to? Did you intend to add a screenshot?
