Hello,

 

Please let me know the reason for the error.

I am getting the following exception when calling the following api:

 

ListFolderResult result = await client.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(model.basechangetoken);

First, can you confirm that you received this cursor from a Files.ListFolder* method? If this is a cursor from something else, you won't be able to use it with Files.ListFolderContinue.

Second, can you check that your app isn't accidentally modifying (e.g., truncating) this cursor string? Cursors encode information about the state of the account, so they can get arbitrarily long, depending on how much information there is about the account to encode. E.g., if the account has shared folders, etc. Since there's no limit on how much information that may end up being, there's no limit on how long a cursor string can be. That being the case, you need to make sure there's no limit on the length of string you can persist, e.g., if you're storing them in a database.
