/list_folder/continue Always empty
I can't seem to return files from the /list_folder/continue API v2.
I am using a development app with auto generated access token to do the following:
1. Call /list_folder/get_latest_cursor - which returns a cursor
2. Call /list_folder/continue - with the cursor just retrieved from the previous call.
The { entries: [] } property is always empty. Can't get any files back from it, no matter which cursor I'm using, even with recent modifications to files in the app directory.
Even if I use the cursor returned by /list_folder, it still returns empty.
Any ideas?

/list_folder/continue should return files that have changed since the time you got the cursor. Have you made file changes since obtaining the cursor? Also check if you're passing true or false for the "recursive" field. (Perhaps the file changes you made are to a subfolder, but you're using making a non-recursive call to /list_folder/continue?)
Thanks Steve - didn't realize I needed to store a cursor on my local side. I assumed the /list_folder/get_latest_cursor would give me a cursor which would show the latest changes...
I just grabbed a cursor, made a change, and used the cursor, and got the results I expected.
Thanks for the super-fast response :)

My pleasure! I'm glad you got things working.
