API endpoint for list of folder names and paths?
Is there an endpoint that will return a list of folder names and paths? Use-case: presenting my users with a dropdown containing various folders they may send a file to.
- Yes, to list files and folders in Dropbox, you should use the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints:

To list root, use the empty string "" as the path. To list a non-root path, pass in the path like "/path/to/folder".

Hi,
What's the C# equivalent of path: "" for the 'Files.ListFolderAsync(path)' method to display to root folder?
It seems to want it in 'id: somevalue' format.
Thanks.
