How to get meta data of current path

Hi ! I just need to get metadata of my current path, so I use

dropbox.Dropbox(my_token).files_get_metadata('')

But I got this error

dropbox.stone_validators.ValidationError: '' did not match pattern '(/(.|[ ......)'

I tried '.' , '/' instead of ' ' , but i got the same error

It's strange, cause when I want to list my current dictionaries files/folder with the code below, I get the result I need:

dropbox.Dropbox(my_token).files_list_folder('').entries

So is there any way I can get my current dictionarie's metadata.

Thank you !

Retrieving the metadata for the root folder ('') is not supported. It doesn't have any specific metadata to return, but you can list its contents, as you found. Accordingly, attempting 'files_get_metadata' will fail.

You can get the metadata for a non-root folder by specifying the path, e.g., like "/FolderName".
