Is there a call to see files in a Dropbox with the Core Python API?
I think the subject asks the question well, "Is there a call to see files in a Dropbox with the Core Python API?" I haven't looked over the actual client.py file, just wondering.

Dropbox Community ModeratorYes, you can use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue to list the files and folders in the connected Dropbox account.
- @bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def test2(ctx):
l = dropbox.files.files_list_folder('/Apps')
await bot.say(l)
The first two and the bottom lines are for another program, but apparently, running this gives me a error saying:
Ignoring exception in command test2
Traceback (most recent call last):

Where is files_list_folder?- Greg-DBAssuming "dropbox" is your Dropbox client instance, it would just be "dropbox.files_list_folder" (Without the extra ".files".)
There's an example here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/master/example/updown.py#L138
You probably shouldn't name your client object "dropbox" though, since that's the name of the module you import.
