dropbox Api in js
Hi, help me pls.
I can’t understand the API how to navigate folders and files in my application if I have already displayed the top level of folders and files on the screen. I work with React.js

You can download the file data using the API/SDK. Please refer to my comment here for some information on doing that.
Exactly what you do with the data, e.g., how you display or present it to the user, will depend on your use case.

6 years agoCan you elaborate on what exactly you're currently stuck on?
To use the Dropbox API from JavaScript, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK.
With that, you can use the filesListFolder and filesListFolderContinue methods to list the contents of any desired folder, at any level, by passing the full path of the desired folder to filesListFolder.

Thanks for the answer. I am a junior developer and try to understand how to use these methods exactly. The photo shows how I use the filesListFolder method. And I want to clarify how I can move on so that I can navigate folders and open files in my application? I understand that the list_folder / continue method is needed, but how to use it?
I tried to solve this problem for a very long time, and I will be grateful for the help. If necessary, I can attach the entire code. Thanks:)
