dbx.users_get_current_account() works but dbx.files_list_folder('').entries returns Error
I am able to use OAuth and can confirm access to my dropbox account using the dropbox API. But when I run dbx.files_list_folders('').entries. I am getting dropbox eceptions.ApiError: ApiError('string...
I appreciate the suggestions! I went in and redid the OAuth to get a new stored_token and now when I run this I am not getting an error, but I also can't see the list of folders/files in the account. When my code gets to
for entry in dbx.files_list_folder('').entries:
print(entry.name)
It is stepping right over the print as if dbx.files_list_folder(").entries isn't even there.
Here is the code I am running (function being called that isn't returning what I expect)
def list_files_in_folder(folder_path,dbx😞
"""

try:
result = dbx.files_list_folder(folder_path)
files = [entry.name for entry in result.entries if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FileMetadata)]
return files

Mgymnasts, Is there any chance your application is App folder application (i.e. no full access and only list app's own folder only)? If so, put something in your application folder and let's see if something changes. You can also print out entries count. 😉
Good luck.
Yes! Thanks! It was right in front of my face...
I really appreciate the advice! Thank you!
