APIV1 ListDirectory lowercase issue
Trying to download files in folder, folder names
Sometimes api returns normal character case, sometimes all are in lowercase:
[.tag] => file
[name] => 50.jpg
[path_lower] => /media/ready/22 morpeth road brampton, manny rodrigues/raw/50.jpg
[path_display] => /media/ready/22 morpeth road brampton, manny rodrigues/raw/50.jpg
[id] => id:4-SLqyMHQzAAAAAAAAByxw
[client_modified] => 2017-03-09T19:08:14Z
[server_modified] => 2017-03-10T05:36:23Z
[rev] => 3b2d30691b154
[size] => 2640198
[content_hash] => a36a55e022708935c19dd0e7c5e48ed8ef62477979348cd97ba299b02f1447fc
)path_display same as path_lower
while reading upper direcory:
[10] => Array
(
[.tag] => folder
[name] => 22 Morpeth Road Brampton, Manny Rodrigues
[path_lower] => /media/ready/22 morpeth road brampton, manny rodrigues
[path_display] => /media/Ready/22 Morpeth Road Brampton, Manny Rodrigues
[id] => id:4-SLqyMHQzAAAAAAAAByxg
)It has uppercase letters but first directory "media" is wrong, must be "Media"
How it can be fixed?

Unfortunately due to some specifics of how Dropbox is implemented, not all of the path components can be guaranteed to have the expected casing.
You can find more information on this in the "Path formats" section under:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#formats
There's also some information in the documentation for "path_display" if you expand "FileMetadata", e.g., under:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata
FileMetadata.name will contain the case-preserved name, so the workaround would be to build the path up from that.
By the way, for reference, your title mentions API v1, but your output is actually from API v2.
