The results retrieved from list_folder however the cache was not updated to cater for moved/copied items and that made it seem as though the api call was not successful. Problem is fixed now.

Were you trying to move this file into that folder at "/Test folder"? A response from /2/files/move_v2 containing the updated metadata like this should indicate that the file was successfully moved, so it appears the move did work if that's what you were attempting.

 

When you say "file is not shown in the folder", how are you checking that? Are you looking at the local filesystem on a computer with the Dropbox desktop client installed and running, or a Dropbox mobile client, or the Dropbox web site, or using the Dropbox API? In any case, make sure what you're looking at is up to date. (E.g., Refresh the page, or make sure the client is running, etc.)
