Groups permissions

How do I list all the folders that a group has permissions to? The list_folders endpoint lists all folders the current user has access to. I could not find any API that talks about group permissions. I am not concerned with permission assignment. All I want to check is how many folders are shared with the groups.

    The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to directly determine which shared folders a particular group has access to, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

    If you need to implement this, you'd have to call /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue] for each shared folder and check for the group in each one.
