Issue with ListFolderAsync()

Issue with ListFolderAsync()

Hello,

 

I'm using ListFolderAsync() to fetch all albums of Dropbox authorized account in my application and its returning too but the issue is when I'm using:

 

var list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(path, true);

 

then i'm getting 20 albums with names etc. But when I'm using:

 

var list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(path, true);
while (list.HasMore)
{
   list = await dbclient.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(list.Cursor);
}

 

then i'm getting 10 different albums with different names etc.

Why i'm getting different-different albums from above both methods?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The ListFolder/ListFolderContinue functionality is paginated, meaning that each call to ListFolder or ListFolderContinue will only contain a portion of the overall results.

 

In your second piece of code, you're overwriting the `list` variable with each call to ListFolderContinue without reading what it contained from the previous call. To get everything, you'll need to read out/save the list.Entries from each call.
