Regarding the condition that "folder_id" is returned in "/sharing/list_folders".

I have a question about the "/sharing/list_folders" API.

According to your API reference, the "folder_id" field in the response body is optional.
Please tell me the conditions under which "folder_id" is returned.

Thank you for your support.

    Hi ca-01,

    There are no specific conditions in which the response from /sharing/list_folders would not contain the "folder_id" field. Marking this field optional allows for more flexibility, scalability, and adaptability of the API or this endpoint over time.
