API endpoint for list of folder names and paths?

Is there an endpoint that will return a list of folder names and paths? Use-case: presenting my users with a dropdown containing various folders they may send a file to.

Hi,

What's the C# equivalent of path: "" for the 'Files.ListFolderAsync(path)' method to display to root folder?

It seems to want it in 'id: somevalue' format.

Thanks.

Yohancef With the .NET SDK, you would also pass an empty string to list the root folder. That would look like this:

var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);

or:

var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync("");
