Looks like filesListFolder does work if I specify the path for the shared folder, but it doesn't seem to like the recursive parameter. Any reason I cannot list files for a shared folder recursively but I can for my own folder?
I get a list of folders and files inside the shared folder if I don't pass in recursive, but I only get the shared folder object if I do. I wanted a flat list of all files inside the shared folder

Could you confirm whether the property "has_more" in the response has a value of "true"? If so, you will need to retrieve the "cursor" value from the response to then call filesListFolderContinue({ cursor: cursor }), with the value of that "cursor" property.
