I can't access newly created folders via API
I am using Dropbox for Python (https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html). However, I realized that the script doesn't retrieve newly created folders. The script is like this....
client = dropbox.Dropbox(DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN)
file_list = client.files_list_folder(r'', recursive=True )
myfolders = [x.name for x in file_list.entries if 'size' not in dir(x)]
print(myfolders)
This script gave the same problem on both 'App folder' and 'Full Dropbox' as suggested on this thread: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/API-can-t-see-new-files-in-APP-folder/td-p/352584
Hi _shintaku_,
Did you try to continue pagination using 'files_list_folder_continue'? 🧐 If not, give it a try. 😉
By the way.. 'if 'size' not in dir(x)' ..statement is not very stable. Better use 'type(x) is '...
Hope this helps.

Thank you @Здравко, you solution solved it.

_shintaku_ You're not guaranteed to get everything back in one call to files_list_folder, so as Здравко indicated, make sure you implement files_list_folder_continue in addition to files_list_folder as documented.
Also, here's an example of how you can check the type of a Metadata object.
