list_folder with include_media_info=true return empty entries array.
When calling /2/files/list_folder with include_media_info = true the API is returning an empty set on a folder that I know contains files. I can see the files in the Dropbox website and also in my d...
I encountered another side effect here, which seems like more of a bug-
On calling /2/files/list_folder on a folder containing a large number of files, (i.e. requiring pagination in the API response) the API was responding not only with an empty list, but with has_more set to true.
This was found to be because no files in that folder had metadata available yet.
Unfortunately this is annoying to reproduce on my end and I didn't capture where the 'cursor' field was pointing, but it resulted in the call recurring infinitely .

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the report rustoiy. That does sound like unexpected behavior. If you can share a few responses showing that empty entries list, including the has_more=true and cursor, that would be helpful for us to investigate.
