Issue with ListFolderAsync()

Question

Hello,

I'm using ListFolderAsync() to fetch all albums of Dropbox authorized account in my application and its returning too but the issue is when I'm using:

var list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(path, true);

then i'm getting 20 albums with names etc. But when I'm using:

var list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(path, true);
while (list.HasMore)
{
   list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(list.Cursor);
}

then i'm getting 10 different albums with different names etc.

Why i'm getting different-different albums from above both methods?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The ListFolder/ListFolderContinue functionality is paginated, meaning that each call to ListFolder or ListFolderContinue will only contain a portion of the overall results.

In your second piece of code, you're overwriting the `list` variable with each call to ListFolderContinue without reading what it contained from the previous call. To get everything, you'll need to read out/save the list.Entries from each call.
