How to list only folders

How to list only folders

I need to list down all folder without file & recursive as well.

I use below API for that
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder
'path'=>'','recursive'=>true,'include_media_info'=>true,'include_mounted_folders'=>true,'include_property_groups'=>"folder"

The Dropbox API unfortunately does not offer a way to list folders only, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

As a workaround, you'll need to list everything and filter out the file entries client-side.

Has there been any movement on this? It is inefficient and puts an unnecessary load on Dropbox to be pulling all files when all that some of us need in our solutions are folders.

@EthanW No, I don't have an update on this. Thanks for the feedback!

Need more support?
