How i can get only images from dropbox in iOS app?

Is there any property of DBMetaData that I can use to load images only.

My Logic : 

  if fileMetaData.isDirectory

            {

                 self.restClient.loadMetadata(fileMetaData.path)

            }

            else

if    fileMetaData.isOfImageType         {

            self.restClient.loadFile("\((tempFile as! DBMetadata).path)", intoPath: localPath)

            }

    It looks like you're using the iOS Core SDK. No, the DBMetadata object in that doesn't offer anything quite like that. You can pull the file extension off of the file name though and compare that to a list of image file extensions you're interested in though.

    (Also, I should note that the iOS Core SDK uses API v1, which is deprecated.)
