How to display folders in the file list Dropbox API (Swift 5)

I get a list of the user's files and then filter it to show only the music files. But I also want to see subfolders. How should I set up my filter for this? Could you help me.
My function where I get the list of files looks like this:

I also want to be able to enter a subfolder, as I understand it, for this I need to insert the path to the subfolder in path: "/ someFolder". But how can I get this path?

    Hi Greg, thank you so much. I'm new to Swift and still figuring out many things. 

     

    This was of great help!

    You’re right, to open subfolders you just need to use the folder path that comes in the API response, look for pathLower or pathDisplay in the file list and pass that into your next request. By the way, if your app screen goes blank or doesn’t show folders correctly, you can check your screen to see if it’s a display problem.
