Python files_list_folder.sharing_info shows None

daniel7rusu

Until two weeks ago, running the below code would return a hash for sharing_info of each entry. But now it's returning none. Can anyone tell me whats going on?

 

Using python documention found here: 

http://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html#module-dropbox.files

 

files_list_folder(path, recursive=False, include_media_info=False, include_deleted=False, include_has_explicit_shared_members=False)

 

My code:

 

entries = dbx.files_list_folder('myfolder',recursive=True)

 

Sample of 2 entry results:

 

FileMetadata(name=u'brei3389_2016_8879-signed.pdf', id=u'id:2SS_0foZgqYAAAAAAAodvw', client_modified=datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 28, 3, 16, 31), server_modified=datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 8, 18, 24, 33), rev=u'27ade301577694', size=224825, path_lower=u'/brian alan lang ea/work papers/bravo/breit/2016/brei3389_2016_8879-signed.pdf', path_display=u'/brian alan lang ea/work papers/bravo/breit/2016/brei3389_2016_8879-signed.pdf', parent_shared_folder_id=None, media_info=None, sharing_info=None, property_groups=None, has_explicit_shared_members=None, content_hash=u'6025e1a0e7ed65ddab7cc395fdd3e42132ae5e11584f027cb46eb3af967c44e7'), FileMetadata(name=u'Brei3389_2016_Lyft.png', id=u'id:2SS_0foZgqYAAAAAAAodvg', client_modified=datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 24, 12, 12, 45), server_modified=datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 8, 18, 24, 33), rev=u'27ade401577694', size=111115, path_lower=u'/brian alan lang ea/work papers/bravo/breit/2016/brei3389_2016_lyft.png', path_display=u'/brian alan lang ea/work papers/bravo/breit/2016/Brei3389_2016_Lyft.png', parent_shared_folder_id=None, media_info=None, sharing_info=None, property_groups=None, has_explicit_shared_members=None, content_hash=u'30d161a17054b38e9b74dc2a7f43b5f6a1f1180a7aeb2079129b5945c3f7f361'), 

As you can see it shows sharing_info=None where it used to return:

 

"sharing_info": {
        "read_only": true,
        "parent_shared_folder_id": "84528192421",
        "modified_by": "dbid:AAH4f99T0taONIb-OurWxbNQ6ywGRopQngc"
    },

The sharing_info field will only be set if the file is inside a shared folder. It sounds like this file is no longer in shared folder, so it won't be set anymore. (For example, you may have "left" the shared folder, but kept your copy.)
