Any way to get mixed-case path for a file?

FileMetadata.name will contain the case-preserved name, so you would need to build the path up from that.

Thanks Gregory! I should have been clearer — I’m aware that I could walk up the path and get the full mixed-case name of each path segment, but that would require either many different HTTP requests or a sophisticated caching facility within my application. I’m wondering if there’s any way to retrieve this data with a single request — or even better, ideally, as a property in each FileMetadata value (e.g. in arrays).

If there’s no way to do this, I’d like to make this a feature request. Is there a formal way to do so?

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying! No, there isn't a single call way to get it like that. I'll send this along as a feature request to the team though.

Got it, thanks Gregory! Happy new year!

Quick update, the FileMetadata object now contains a "path_display" property. You can read more about it in the documentation.

Wow, thanks Gregory! I really appreciate it!
