File listing with ID

Hi all,

 

I have requirement to do file listing and bookmark the file / folder from our application. We are planning to store the ID of the file / folder. On clicking of the folder that we have bookmarked, we will do file listing.

 

I know that currently Dropbox API doesn't support file listing with ID. May I know when it will be supported?

 

Thanks.

    Unfortunately I don't have a timeline for if/when that would be implemented, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    Hi Greg,

     

    I am just curious what's the purpose of using ID then.

    rms u. While the list_folder endpoint doesn't accept an ID parameter, it does return file metadata that contains IDs, which can be used to track items across changes, such as moves or renames.

     

    There are also other endpoints that do accept IDs.
