Hi Greg K.,

 

The main issue will be folder delete event. If we process the event comes from server in sequence, we will remove the folder first and then re-create it when sharing a folder.

 

 

so we have to merge delete and sharing folder by ourself when using "/list_folder/continue" or is there any suggestion to deal with issue?
