About the "path_lower" field in the response body from Dropbox API "/create_folder"

I have a question about the "/create_folder" API.
According to your API reference, the "path_lower" field in the response body is optional.
Are there any situations in which the response body does not include "path_lower" even when the status code is 200?

If so, could you please specify the scenarios in which this occurs?

Thank you for your support.

  • Hi ca-01,

    There is no common situation in which the response from /files/create_folder_v2 would not include the "path_lower" field.

    Keep in mind that other endpoints also return FolderMetadata. Depending on the endpoint, the "path_lower" field will be null if the file or folder is not mounted.
