SwiftyDropbox - Get MediaMetadata Count

Currently I have to take the user's dropbox and read through their files counting the images they have. I wasn't sure if there was a better way or a method I could use that you have setup?

    That sounds like the only way to do that. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just get the count of media information, so you'd need to listFolder through the entries you're interested in and count the relevant ones.
