how to get all subfolders list from the share section of dropbox?
I'm not sure I understand the first part of your latest comment. If something isn't working as expected with the Dropbox API with respect to that, please clarify.
Anyway, yes, you can check if a given shared folder is mounted in the connected account. Check the SharedFolderMetadata, e.g., as returned in ListFoldersResult.Entries from ListFoldersAsync or ListFoldersContinueAsync. If SharedFolderMetadataBase.PathLower is set, then the folder is mounted. If it is not set, then the folder is not mounted.

The Sharing.ListFolders methods only let you list shared folders themselves. To list the contents of any arbitrary path, you need to instead use Files.ListFolder and Files.ListFolderContinue methods.
Hi Greg,
is Files.ListFolder able to return a list of subfolders of the folders that shared with me but not mount yet? I was trying it but was giving exception of the path not found, that's why I was using Sharing.ListFolderAsync(), what am I need to do here

Yes, you can technically use these methods to list the contents of an unmounted folder. To do so, you need to use the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header with the "namespace_id" mode, set to the namespace ID of the folder, which you can get from the Sharing.ListFoldersAsync method.
In the .NET SDK, that would look like this:
string ACCESS_TOKEN = "..."; string namespaceID = "123456789"; client = new DropboxClient(ACCESS_TOKEN).WithPathRoot(new Dropbox.Api.Common.PathRoot.NamespaceId(namespaceID)); var listResult = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty); // handle the response, implement ListFolderContinueAsync, and so on
