Hi Jasmine jj,
Take care. 🙂 You are asking the Dropbox server for your file requests count, not some files count! 😉 That are different things. There is no direct way; you have to list files in particular folder, if you want. That's it.
Hope this helps.

The /2/file_requests/count endpoint is for getting the count of "file requests", not actual files. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just retrieve the total number of files in an account, but you can list and count them using /2/files/list_folder[/continue].
