mrramos If you need the file listing under a folder, you should use /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue. API v2 isn't a drop-in recplament for API v1, so you'll need to make code changes. There are curl examples in the documentation for those showing how to call them.

    djomoutresor1 I don't have a sample to share for Angular in particular. Please refer to the HTTP documentation for whichever method(s) you need, e.g., /files/get_metadata, /files/list_folder, or /files/list_folder/continue, for information on how to call them, including curl examples, so you can write the relevant code for whatever HTTP client you're using.
