Question about list_folder method
1. Is it possible to limit the number of item return from the list_folder method ? For instance there are 300 item in a folder, but we only want to return the first 100 item, can we passing a limit value to the parameter so it will only return 100 item at a time ?
2. Also, it it possible to filter out which kind/type of file we want to return from the list_folder method ? For instance I only want to retrieve images and not any other file types
Thanks,
Phuong

1. No, it's not possible to specify a custom limit like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
2. No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer server-side filtering like that. You'll need to filter client-side. We'll consider it a feature request as well. Oh I see, thanks Greg.
- Greg-DBYou can now set an approximate limit on the list_folder page size using the "limit" parameter:
