Download ANY file in folder
To download a file I need a full path. What if I don't know the name of the file? How would I list that path then to grab any txt file?
"path": "/Homework/math/Prime_Numbers.txt"
toki4004, You can search for such files using /2/files/search_v2/continue_v2. Just restrict the search to particular extension and look in filename only with the same string as the extension. In the resulting list you will see all such files with their paths, ids, and revisions (you can use anything of them to download particular file or set of files).
Hope this helps.
If I use "search" - what would I put for "query"? I don't know the file name - I only know the extension so I'll put that under options =>file_extensions
But query is required...

Hm..🤔 What's the name of that parameter where you denote what you're looking for (either from file content or its name)? In the particular case we need to direct Dropbox to search in filename only... Ohh...yes. 😀 That was the "query"! 🤫
