Unable to fetch metadata of shared folder
Hi,
after creating a shared folder via endpoint
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2
a folder id in the form "id:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is returned.
When trying to fetch the metadata of this particular folder later on using the endpoint
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_folder_metadata
and that very id, I receive an error response that the id is invalid.
The documentation/example of above endpoint has been updated recently, now using folder ids in the form "0000000" (numeric only).
So, how can I access the metadata of a folder having an id in the form of "id:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,
Jan
