API V2 unable to list folder using file id

API V2 unable to list folder using file id

I would like to be able to list the contents of a folder using the file id instead of the path.

Is this in the works?

Thanks!

I believe this is planned, but I can't offer a timeline right now. I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request though.

An ETA would be nice, please?

I don't mean to criticize, but it sounds like this glaring inconsistency is being treated as a feature request of a lowest priority (apparently)? Sure, an ID can always be resolved into full path using a get_metadata call, but why making the extra trip and sacrifice performance?

Need more support?
