CreateFolder V2 API
I am seeing that CreateFolder V2 API takes at least 10 seconds. So if you need to create 10 folders through the API you are looking at 100 seconds. I see no way to speed up or an alternative way?

Thanks for the report. I just tried this and I can't reproduce this though.
How are you timing this? Are you seeing this for all users/all calls?
Also, note that if you're uploading files, you don't need to explicitly create parent folders first. If you upload a file to a path with folders in it that don't already exist, they'll be automatically created, saving you the step.- Greg-DB

For reference, the API offers a batch endpoint for creating folders now:
