Get parent folder of a shared folder

[mnmtm]

I am using "list_folder" to get the details of a sub-folder. I want to find the ID of its parent folder. But  "parent_shared_folder_id" contains the ID of its grand-parent folder, not its immediate parent folder. Is there a way to get an item's immediate parent ID?

The parent_shared_folder_id field will contain the shared folder ID for the shared folder that contains the item, regardless of how many levels up that is.

If you want the immediate parent of an item, whether or not it is the shared folder itself, you can strip the last element off of the item's path_lower.

Using that path, you can call /files/get_metadata or /files/list_folder as necessary to get the metadata you want.
