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.

    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.

      Yohancef With the .NET SDK, you would also pass an empty string to list the root folder. That would look like this:

      var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);

      or:

      var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync("");
