    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey thanks for this! I appreciate the answer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Okay so it look like this need more figuring out - either using your approach below or the approach you described for downloading all content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Dropbox-API-to-download-All-Content/m-p/283506" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Dropbox-API-to-download-All-Content/m-p/283506&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In meantime, can you advise on one last question; is there a way to retrieve recently modified files?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Way to get statistics on all Files and Folders from Dropbox API?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Way-to-get-statistics-on-all-Files-and-Folders-from-Dropbox-API/m-p/631376#M2967</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can anyone suggest if / how I might get statistics on Folders and Files from Dropbox's API?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm making a custom visualization of Starred Files and Folders from a Dropbox user account. Specifically showing:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Starred Files: each File by; Size&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Folders &amp;amp; Sub-folders: each Folder by; Size, # of Files&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Id appreciate any guidance on if/how to do this. I'm using their HTTP endpoints in Vue 3. Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;[Cross-linking for reference: &lt;A href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74183804/way-to-get-statistics-on-all-files-and-folders-from-dropbox-api" target="_blank"&gt;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74183804/way-to-get-statistics-on-all-files-and-folders-from-dropbox-api&lt;/A&gt; ]&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer functionality for these specific queries. It currently does not offer a way to list starred items, to get the total size of the contents of a folder, or to get the total count of items in a folder. I'll pass these along as feature requests, but I can't promise if or when they might be implemented.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To get the total size and count inside a particular folder, you'd need to use to &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;] with "recursive" set to "true" to list everything and then sum/count the items with your own code. (You can set the "path" to the empty string "" to list the root folder.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, the Dropbox API does not offer functionality like that either. Like with total sizes/counts, you'd need to list everything and apply whatever sorting/filtering you want in your code. We'll consider this a feature request as well.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
