Not getting folder info in listfolder and listfolder/contunue apis
Hi,
Lets say there 2 users A and B.
User A home folder contains a folder by name folder1.
When we add User B on folder1 with Api https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/do...
When you add a new member to a folder, they then have access to that folder, but the folder may not yet be "mounted" in their account. If the folder is not yet mounted in their account, it will not be listed in their file/folder listing (e.g., as returned by /2/files/list_folder[/continue]).
Note that if the users A and B are on the same team, add user B to the shared folder may automatically mount the folder in their account. If they are not on the same team, the folder will not be automatically mounted.
If the folder is not mounted in the new member's account, you can use /2/sharing/mount_folder to mount it, if you have access to the new member's account via the API.
In any case, there isn't any guarantee on how long things take to be mounted, but if you're waiting on changes, instead of using a delay, you should monitor the account for changes. For server-side apps, you can use webhooks. For client-side apps, you can use /2/files/list_folder/longpoll.
