    The API currently only offers the ability to restore specific files, and not entire folders, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    Hi Greg

    Is this still the case? Is there no api for restoring a folder that has been deleted?

    patrikc This is still the case. The Dropbox API still doesn't offer functionality for restoring entire folders.

    Is there any update on this? Is it possible to restore folders using the dropbox api? Thanks.

    Thanks, Greg. Is there any workaround using api?

    Thanks. I understand. Calling ListFolderAsync on a deleted folder returns path not found error. How do I get the names\ids of the files which are in the deleted folder so I can restore them?
