Dropbox Paper folder creation API

The Dropbox Paper API allows to list folders, but not to create a new one.

It seems to be possible to create a folder from the Android app, so I suppose

there is probably a private endpoint to do this.

Is there any plan to add a public API endpoint to create a Dropbox Paper folder?

 

Thanks.

    Thanks for the post! I can't say if or when the team may decide to implement this on the public API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

    Great, thank you!

    I think the use case should be quite obvious, but if it might help, in my case I am working on a client to sync paper documents and I have currently no way to create a locally added folder to Paper using the API.

    I'm not aware of current plans to implement this unfortunately.

    Has this feature made it onto the Dropbox Paper API roadmap? It's a key piece of the puzzle for us as we increasingly utilize Dropbox Paper in our automated workflows.
