Re: API v2 listFolder with include_deleted: How far does that look back in history?

API v2 listFolder with include_deleted: How far does that look back in history?

Hi,

 

the documentation says about include_deleted: "If true, the results will include entries for files and folders that used to exist but were deleted."

 

My question is: if I call listFolder with include_deleted, does that deliver all deleted items that *ever* existed in that folder, or is the scope limited by something like the 30-day version history?

 

Thanks.

When calling with include_deleted=true, you should receive deleted entries for items that can still be restored, but not for entries that have been permanently deleted.

The amount of time that the account stores deleted files depends on the account's plan.

Thank you for the clarification, Greg. It is an important addition to the text in the documentation, I think.

Best,
Alfons
