Hi Greg,

Is there any update on this? The reason I ask is that the API v1 endpoints are going to be closed off June 28 2017 and it looks like this endpoint has some issues. If there is no solution is there a reliable work around?

 

Would processing each folder and its content be a reliable way?

 

Many thanks

No, no update on this right now. I can't promise if that would work as a workaround, as each case may be different, but it may help.

    Since yesterday I have the same error on a directory containing about 5300 files. The day before everything worked fine. This is a big problem!!! How can I solve it?

        Thanks for the request ID volkeru! That one happens to be a different issue than the one originally reported on this this thread, but it is also a known issue we're working on.
