    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Greg,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can confirm I do &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;not&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt; get all the entires from the camera uploads directory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is it possible there is a limit? I have over 20k items in this folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>list_folder API not starting from beginning of directory</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm building a mobile app for viewing the &lt;EM&gt;/Camera Uploads&lt;/EM&gt; path and for whatever reason the initial query does not start from the beginning of the directory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To explain more, my &lt;EM&gt;/Camera Uploads&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;files go&amp;nbsp;back as far as 2010, yet the &lt;EM&gt;list_folder&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;starts returning entries from 2013 and skips the first 500 or so photos.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I even tried using the API explorer to the same results.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would there be any reason for this? I can post the code if it would help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The list_folder endpoints do not promise a certain order for the returned entries. I.e., the first returned entries may not be the oldest ones.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Your app should check the has_more value in the result, and if it's true, call back to /2/files/list_folder/continue to get the rest of the entries. Once you process the all of the entries, you can apply whatever ordering you want.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Greg,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the reply.&lt;BR /&gt;That's fine, but it does start at a seeminly random date and it's always that same date (January 30, 2013). Also, It does continue in order by date after that initial request using the /list_folder/continue method.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maybe i'm missing something, but just thought I'd ask why this is.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The exact order will depend on how things work on the Dropbox backend, so while it may be at least partially in chronological order, it's not guaranteed or externally predictable. &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;As long as you call back and retrieve all of the pages, based on has_more, you should receive all of the entries.</description>

      <description>There isn't an overall limit. If you're calling /2/files/list_folder/continue repeatedly until has_more=false and you're still missing entries, please open an API ticket with the details so we can check on it for you:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The following would be useful:&lt;BR /&gt;- the registered app name or key&lt;BR /&gt;- the user ID of the affected account&lt;BR /&gt;- the relevant code snippet(s)&lt;BR /&gt;- some sample missing file paths/names and a screenshot showing them on the web site for comparison</description>
