File/Folder ID in DeletedMetadata

Could the DeletedMetadata objects in the response to list_folder provide the ID of the file/folder deleted? This will simplify tracking so we don't require to store/update the path in addition to the ID.

    This isn't currently possible, but I'll send this along as a feature request.

    Hi Greg, do you have some news about this request? I am encountering the exact same issue as vinodc.

    Hi Greg,

     

    I am aware that this is still not available. Just wanted to add up and flag this as a feature that would really be useful for me too.

     

    Thanks

    Greg,

     

    Following up to confirm that this would still be a valuable addition to the API. We're still having trouble identifying the exact file/folder that was deleted.

     

    Thanks.
