API response limited to 2,000 items
I do a lot of photo work and try to automate some of my photo and video sorting and processing but I've run into a pretty big issue: Apparently there is a maximum of 2,000 items returned when getting a directory listing. Is it paginated? If so, why doesn't the Python API client handle pagination?
From one of my servers using the latest Python API client:
╭─jivanov@irony ~
╰─$ dropbox-api ls /Camera\ Uploads | wc -l
2000
From my personal laptop running the latest Dropbox client application:
╭─jamie@BeefCurtainMoses ~/Dropbox/Camera Uploads
╰─$ ls -1 | wc -l
2353

The list_folder response is paginated. If ListFolderResult.has_more is True, you should call back to files_list_folder_continue for more entries. The documentation for list_folder has information for processing these.
