Gregory,

The other ticket was linked to a file shared that never appeared when I requested all links; that really does seem like a bug; but this, this is I am sure is me not using the API correctly? Let me try and run thru this again. I create a app, acme1066.

I create a directory ..

/Users/localuser/Dropbox/acme1066/Homework/math

I run the API command...

mymac:dropbox localuser$ curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder     --header "Authorization: Bearer ab-AUTHtoken"     --header "Content-Type: application/json"     --data "{\"path\": \"/Homework/math\",\"recursive\": false,\"include_media_info\": false,\"include_deleted\": false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\": false}"

But it returns ..

{"error_summary": "path/not_found/.", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "not_found"}}}

Note I created three files within Homework/math, what have I missed here?
