Duplicate ID for two different files

I have uploaded two different files in two different subfolders of dropbox.

The Unique ID which we are getting in through API calls is same for two different files.

I was expecit that ID field is unique for each entity dropbox folder atleast for a user. 

 

I'm using below API

/2/files/list_folder/continue

 

Do we have any unique id for file in dropbox? 

 

Thanks

    The file ID should be unique across different files. Can you share the output you're getting where they're identical? (Note that case matters in file IDs, so make sure you're using case-sensitive comparisons.)
