I need a clean working example of CREATE FOLDER
I tested many examples, but always get a issue about some missing parameter. For a beginer on this, like me, it became frustative. A clean example like "url-dropbox-api- functio+key+secret+token+folderToCreate" in a lite javascript function without any jquery on this. You know?: the clear way to something. Even a static example, just for testing. I´ll apreciate so much.
Thank you..

To use the Dropbox API via JavaScript, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK.
Creating a folder with that can be done similarly to the filesListFolder example (which is written for Node).
It would look like this, using the filesCreateFolderV2 method: (written for browser JavaScript, assuming the library is already loaded)
var dbx = new Dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN }); dbx.filesCreateFolderV2({path: '/MyFolderName'}) .then(function(response) { console.log(response); }) .catch(function(error) { console.error(error); });can we use unique parent folder id then folder name for creating folders?
is there any other way of creating without passing the whole path? with some unique key

rajshree1996 No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't currently support creating folders using paths relative to existing folder IDs, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
It does support creating new folders relative to namespace IDs though, like:
dbx.filesCreateFolderV2({"path": "ns:123456789/new folder name"}) .then(function(response) { console.log(response); }) .catch(function(error) { console.log(error); });That only works for folders with namespace IDs though, e.g., shared folders.
