API V2 unable to list folder using file id
I would like to be able to list the contents of a folder using the file id instead of the path.
Is this in the works?
Thanks!
Great, thanks!
I don't mean to criticize, but it sounds like this glaring inconsistency is being treated as a feature request of a lowest priority (apparently)? Sure, an ID can always be resolved into full path using a get_metadata call, but why making the extra trip and sacrifice performance?

I believe this is planned, but I can't offer a timeline right now. I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request though.
Any update on that one? thx

No update on this right now.
There's something new about this?

Unfortunately, no, no update on this right now.
An ETA would be nice, please?

Thanks for the feedback Vladimir! I don't have a timeline to offer right now unfortunately.
- Greg-DBThe Dropbox API now supports file IDs for list_folder:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint.
