So, ok, thanks, that was helpful. I got to some degree with the proccess success in authenticated, get account info and even folder metadata, now i am stucked on getting thumbnail using getThumbnail function, with an error: Fatal error: Class 'Path' not found. I cannot find any example of regular call of this function specialy how to create a valid path.
Currently using https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/thumbnails/auto/images/20131205_204518.jpg but that doesnt seem to work.
However it looks to me that it is not possible to get the list of all images in a specific folder/subfolder. So even if I get one thumbnail pulled from my folder this would be hardcoded on a single file name. I presume that it is not possible to make my app show grid of images drom dropbox folder. Or, did i take a wrong turn anywhere?
