Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to list just folders in a table. When I do a listFolder call it gives me all the folders and files with a .tag. Is there any way to access that .tag or just list the folders? I know you can list files by using the Suffix but what about folders? Thanks for your help. Below is what I get back with my listFolder call.

You can filter Metadata objects by checking if they are FileMetadata or FolderMetadata (or DeletedMetadata) instances as shown here:

@ravisharma What are you looking for exactly? If you need to see how to distinguish between files and folders, that's in the README:
https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox#response-handling-edge-cases
If you're looking for a sample for listing items, there are some examples here:
https://github.com/dropbox/PhotoWatch/blob/48df3b99b47f4a883703f7a4cd9512eb2a5c0cb2/PhotoWatch/ViewC...
https://stackoverflow.com/documentation/dropbox-api/412/listing-a-folder/1371/listing-the-root-folde...
Those only call listFolder though, so you'll need to make sure you call listFolderContinue too, as described in the second link.
