Thanks,

 

more Questions: :)

 

1. When requesting docs/list i get only id's ok, but some of the id's are folder id and some of them are doc id's is there a way just to get the paper folders or just to get all the docs?

2. and if i have a folder id inside the paper how do i get all the docs or folder inside this spesific folder?

1. The /2/paper/docs/list endpoint should already only be returning doc IDs, not folder IDs. If this isn't what you're seeing, please let us know and share the relevant code and output so we can investigate. (Be sure to redact the access token of course.) You can share privately by opening an API ticket if you'd prefer.

2. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to list all of the contents in a particular Paper folder. I'll pass this along as a feature request as well.
