Any way to filter in the server?

Is there any way to filter files and folders? Specifically I´m looking for a way to receive all the subfolders (without the files) of a specific folder. I know I can do it in the client, but I don't want to waste network traffic unnecessarily.

Regards,

Alvaro.

    No, the API doesn't offer a way to do this server-side, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
