Is there a call to see files in a Dropbox with the Core Python API?

I think the subject asks the question well, "Is there a call to see files in a Dropbox with the Core Python API?"

I haven't looked over the actual client.py file, just wondering.

Yes, you can use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue to list the files and folders in the connected Dropbox account.

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def test2(ctx):
l = dropbox.files.files_list_folder('/Apps')
await bot.say(l)
The first two and the bottom lines are for another program, but apparently, running this gives me a error saying:

Ignoring exception in command test2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\sit

ret = yield from coro(*args, **kwargs)
File "bot.py", line 51, in test2
l = dropbox.files.files_list_folder('/Apps')
AttributeError: module 'dropbox.files' has no attribute 'files_list_folder'

Where is files_list_folder?

Assuming "dropbox" is your Dropbox client instance, it would just be "dropbox.files_list_folder" (Without the extra ".files".)

There's an example here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/master/example/updown.py#L138

You probably shouldn't name your client object "dropbox" though, since that's the name of the module you import.
