Dropbox API not returning all files

pyraxic

I am using Django and trying to get the list of all files. My dropbox contains 4149 files but it only returns 3998. Upon checking it seems that the most recent files uploaded to Dropbox isn't showing up in the list. Here is my code.

 

    dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(oauth_result.access_token)
    metadata = dbx.files_list_folder("", recursive=True)
    flist = []
    if metadata.has_more == True:
        m1 = metadata.entries
        cur = metadata.cursor
        for i in m1:
            if isinstance(i, dropbox.files.FileMetadata):
                flist.append([i.name])
        m2 = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(cur)
        while m2.has_more == True:
            for i in m2.entries:
                if isinstance(i, dropbox.files.FileMetadata):
                    flist.append([i.name])
            cur = m2.cursor
            m2 = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(cur)

I tried running the code you posted and was able to reproduce the issue of it dropping the last page. Here's a fixed version:

 

dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(oauth_result.access_token)
result = dbx.files_list_folder("", recursive=True)
file_list = []

def process_entries(entries):
    for entry in entries:
        if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FileMetadata):
            file_list.append([entry.name])

process_entries(result.entries)

while result.has_more:
    result = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(result.cursor)

    process_entries(result.entries)

print(len(file_list))
