Hello. I'm newbie here and in c#.

Can you help me too with list folders on dropbox?

Thank you.

To list files and folders in a linked Dropbox account using the official Dropbox .NET SDK, you should use the listFolder and listFolderContinue methods.

There are some simple examples here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/blob/3fa0ccc759b0c413408e3afbd08ad375f38d26d0/Examples/SimpleBlogDemo/Helpers/BlogHelpers.cs#L93

(Note that these are simplified examples. In your actual app, you should make sure to check ListFolderResult.HasMore to see if there are more results to fetch using listFolderContinue.)

@ahmedcoo For information on how to list all of the files/folders in an account using the Dropbox API in C# via the official Dropbox .NET SDK, please refer to my earlier comment here:

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/List-ALL-folders-and-files-on-my-dropbox-account/m-p/193107/highlight/true#M8650

To list everything starting at the home folder, you'd want to use the empty string "" as the path, and set recursive to true when first calling ListFolderAsync.

Send me the code for listing files and folders in Dropbox. Louise

@abelmor Exactly how you use the API will on exactly what you're looking to do, so please refer to the information earlier in this thread to see how to configure these calls.

For example, here's a very basic sample of how you can call these methods to print out the entries for everything directly in the root folder for the call:

void HandleEntries(IList<Dropbox.Api.Files.Metadata> entries)
{
    foreach (var entry in entries)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(entry);
    }
}

var result = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(path:string.Empty);
HandleEntries(result.Entries);
while (result.HasMore) {
    result = await client.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(result.Cursor);
    HandleEntries(result.Entries);
}
