new files not returned by /files/list_folder
Are there currently problems with the API?
My App does not return any newly created files/folders with "/files/list_folder"
Files that have been in dropbox for a while are listed, but if I add a new file it does not appear in the result.
the '/files/search' endpoint seems to work fine. All files, new and old are returned.

When you call /2/files/list_folder, make sure you check the 'has_more' value in the response. If it is true, you need to call back to /2/files/list_folder/continue in order to get more results. (And likewise, check the 'has_more' value in the response from /2/files/list_folder/continue.)
The /2/files/list_folder[/continue] results are paginated, so you aren't guaranteed to get everything returned on the first page. You can find more information in the documentation for the two endpoints:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue
You can then store and re-use the latest returned 'cursor' to get only new changes on further calls to /2/files/list_folder/continue.
If you're already doing that, please share your code and the unexpected output.has_more is set to false

When using include_media_info = true, that can be expected sometimes. I'll follow up on the other thread as well:
