How to list all the shared files and folders

Hii,

I have used the https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_folders with Dropbox-API-Select-User header, but only the folders shared is retrieved, also, only top level folders (root folders) are retrieved. How to retrive all the folders recursively that is shared and also, how to get all the files shared with the user. Kindly, help.

Thanks

Using /2/sharing/list_folders and /2/sharing/list_folders/continue is the right way to list the shared folders for an account. That only lists the shared folders themselves, not their contents. To list the contents of any particular folder, shared or not, you should use /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue.

To list the files that have been individually shared with the account, you should use /2/sharing/list_received_files and /2/sharing/list_received_files/continue.

The share folders are not organized in a tree (or something like), so no recursion can be defined, it's rather linear list.

To list shared files is other access point: 2/sharing/list_received_files. Files shared within shared folder can be enumerated like any other folder. 😉

Hope this helps.
