Thanks for the response.

 

I tried the option - "setting withPathRoot and using listFolder and listFolderContinue."  However that fetches user's root folders as well - is there a way to filter those out in the API itself?  Couldn't find any pointers in the documentation/APIs.

No, unfortunately there isn't an option for filtering out the member folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

 

The closest option currently is withIncludeMountedFolders(false) (since member folders are mounted in the context of the team space), but that would also exclude other types of mounted folders. That also only excludes the contents under those folders, but would still list the entry for the folder itself.
