    <title>topic How to ignore folders during recursive listing in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;When I operate on a Dropbox Business account and list each member's personal folders, I end up listing the same shared folders multiple times. That is, if a shared folder is mounted within each member's personal folders, then when I list members' folders I end up listing that shared folder also.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can filter out the listed shared folder if I don't use&amp;nbsp; 'recursive=True', that is, I can iterate over each sub-folder and check if it's a shared folder and whether or not it was listed before, but then the disadavtage is I will have to recure through each folder manually. How can I list folders recursively and ignore certain sub-folders from getting listed on subsequent `list_folder/continue`.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;There isn't a way to ask the API to ignore specific folders, but it sounds like this question is similar to &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/Is-there-a-way-to-just-list-the-member-s-personal-folders/m-p/328342" target="_self"&gt;this previous one of yours&lt;/A&gt;. As there, the closest thing is the 'include_mounted_folders' option on&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;. (You set the option when calling&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;, and the behavior will follow through to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/continue&lt;/A&gt; based on the resulting cursors.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Otherwise, you'd need to filter out the entries client-side, based on&amp;nbsp;sharing_info.parent_shared_folder_id or sharing_info.shared_folder_id values that you've seen before. (The shared folder IDs are consistent across users.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
