Download shared folders via /2/files/download call

Question

I've been calling /2/files/list_folder and then calling /2/files/download to download all files of a specific user. However, I noticed that I'm not able to download the content of the following types:

Team Folders

Shared Folders

I'm not worried about the team folders but I would like the ability to download all content within the shared folders (Most of these folders are shared between users and do not have a link created, for what it's worth). I've got the recursive param set to "true" and I see regular folders displaying child files but nothing appears for the shared folders other than the folder itself. I'm using the DropBox Buisness API (Team member file access) for authentication. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The /2/files/list_folder[/continue] interface is paginated, and you're not guaranteed to get all of the results on the first page. You need to check the `has_more` value in the response, and call back to /2/files/list_folder/continue, if it's true. Keep calling back to retrieve all of the pages until `has_more` is false in order to get all of the entries. You can find more information in the /2/files/list_folder documentation.
