    If I understand your scenario correctly, the actual behavior here is correct and expected. You retrieved the cursor after those changes were made, so /2/files/list_folder/continue won't/shouldn't tell you about them when you call with that cursor. (It would tell you about changes that occurred after you retrieved that latest cursor.)

    If you want to know about those earlier changes though, you should get the latest cursor before making the changes.
