REST API v2: /list_folder/continue returns not_found error after changing the sharing state
Hi Dropbox-Team,
I have a few folders on Dropbox. I have a client app that observes each folder with "2/files/list_folder/longpoll". If a change is detected, I process the change with "2/files/l...
Thanks for the response.
The folders I share are really small (just a few KiloBytes). I also just created them for the test. It is also not entirely reproducibly. It seems like on some days this happens more often then on others. Maybe it's related to Dropbox workload.
Is it defined from what size on a folder is shared asynchronously via the Dropbox Website?
And if my small folder is shared asynchronously, is it really expected, that "files/list_folder/continue" will return a "not_found" error? Maybe it would be better, if it would return empty, how you described it (and not with an error).
But actually I would expect the longpoll to respond _after_ the asynchronous sharing is completed, not when it is started. Then my "files/list_folder/continue" would not run in this problem at all.
So the issue is not completely clear to me yet.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI'll be happy to try to get some more clarity on this issue for you, but it would be helpful to get some more information so I can be sure I understand exactly what parameters you're using and what behavior you're seeing. Can you share the actual HTTP requests and responses for the API calls you're making, including the request and response bodies? Just be sure to redact the access token of course. If you'd prefer to share privately, please feel free to open an API ticket. Thanks in advance!
