    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1743908"&gt;@toki4004&lt;/a&gt;, You can search for such files using &lt;A title="Searches for files and folders" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;/2/files/search_v2&lt;/A&gt;/&lt;A title="Fetches the next page of search results" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search-continue" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;continue_v2&lt;/A&gt;. Just restrict the search to particular extension and look in filename only with the same string as the extension. In the resulting list you will see all such files with their paths, ids, and revisions (you can use anything of them to download particular file or set of files).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Download ANY file in folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Download-ANY-file-in-folder/m-p/719931#M31848</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;To download a file I need a full path. What if I don't know the name of the file? How would I list that path then to grab &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;any&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; txt file?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt; "path": "/Homework/math/Prime_Numbers.txt"&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1743908"&gt;@toki4004&lt;/a&gt; In addition to the search functionality that Здравко mentioned, you can list all of the contents of any particular folder using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_blank"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;].&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For example, if you know a parent folder path, you would set the "path" like "/Homework/math". Or, to list the root, you would supply the "path" as the empty string "".&lt;/P&gt;</description>

If I try that, I get errors...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to stay away form list -&amp;gt; then download, because I'd have to make 2 trips to DB - performance-wise that would not be ideal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To download a whole folder, you can use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download_zip" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/download_zip&lt;/A&gt; and specify the name of the folder, like "/Homework/math" or "/Homework".&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If I use "search" - what would I put for "query"? I don't know the file name - I only know the extension so I'll put that under options =&amp;gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;file_extensions&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;But query is required...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
