API example for SwiftyDropBox v2.0 sharing
#!/usr/bin/python
import dropbox
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('ab-X')
dbx.users_get_current_account()
for entry in dbx.files_list_folder('/Shared').entries:
print(entry.name)
# OUTPUT:
dbx.files_download_to_file('Dog.jpg','/Shared/Samba.png')Tried, signed in ok... and the code compiles, got the user and files part working but sharing no. So my python call to dx.files_list_folder works on my dropbox, but my swift code does nothing?
if let client = Dropbox.authorizedClient {
client.sharing.listFolders().response({ response, error in
if let link = response {
print(link.entries)
} else {
print("nothing ...")
}
})
}Have I missed something? Can somebody share some working v2 code that does the same thing as the python example?
Using Swift 2.0 under IOS 9.2 with Xcode client 7.1.1 running under El Capitan.

To clarify, does the Swift version literally do nothing, or does it print out "nothing ..."? In either case, you should make sure you're handling the error in that else block in the Swift version.
Also, note that these two aren't really equivalent. In the Python version, files_list_folder('/Shared') is listing the folder at the specific path "/Shared", while the Swift version uses sharing.listFolders which would list any and all shared folders. The equivalent of files_list_folder would be the listFolder file route.
OK, clarification. It literally does nothing, it doesn't print anything at all. What I want to do is list the shared folders, so the swift call is the right one; only it doesn't work for me. The Shared folder is a folder I have shared to user B; I also got user B to share a folder with me. I see neither with this call. This is not an app share, its the other sort of share?

What do you mean by "app share"? There are two types of sharing in Dropbox, "shared links" and "shared folders". Shared links won't appear in sharing.listFolders, but shared folders will.
Anyway, is your client object going out of scope by any chance? The API call is asynchronous, so that could be a reason you're not getting any output.
Ok, try again. Lets try with a different example. I run this.
/usr/bin/curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_folders --header "Authorization: Bearer ab-X"
I get this...
{"entries": [{"path_lower": "/shared", "name": "Shared", "shared_folder_id": "dbsfid:blah", "access_type": {".tag": "owner"}, "is_team_folder": false, "policy": {"acl_update_policy": {".tag": "editors"}, "shared_link_policy": {".tag": "anyone"}}}, {"path_lower": "/myshared", "name": "myShared", "shared_folder_id": "dbsfid:blah", "access_type": {".tag": "editor"}, "is_team_folder": false, "policy": {"acl_update_policy": {".tag": "editors"}, "shared_link_policy": {".tag": "anyone"}}}]}
Now I want to do that in swift?

In the Swift SDK, that should be the sharing listFolders method, as you have in your original post. The documentation can be found here:
