"Add a few details about this folder" - how to access

Dropbox allows you to "Add a few details about this folder..." under folder properties. Is there a way to fetch that info via api? I couldn't find it in your documentation. I don't see it under folder_metadata... Is that possible at all?

    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't currently expose the ability to set those folder overviews programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
