Can't get folders lists for Error 409 "path/locked"
I am developing application that sends files, lists folders to Dropbox via API.
When getting folders list by API as follows:
"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder" or
"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue" ,
I get error response as follows:
HTTP 409(Conflict)
{""error_summary"": ""path/locked/..."", ""error"": {"".tag"": ""path"", ""path"": {"".tag"": ""locked""}}} .
What this response means?
Folders or files has something wrong on Dropbox?
Thanks for your reply.

A failed call with the "path/locked" error from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] means the path can't be listed because it is a locked folder. This can occur if the app is attempting to list a Dropbox Vault, for instance.
Is there any way to unlock the vault via API?
Thanks for your reply.
