Dropbox equivalent of os.walk() for python
Hi,
I'm looking to list all the files in folders and sub-folders of one dropbox account with Python v2 API. Is there any equivalent of os.walk() in the API? I can see that we have files_list_folder...

If you need to list all entries, included nested files and folders, you should use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue. You can do so by setting recursive=True on the initial call to files_list_folder.
The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to automatically retrieve the file extension, so you should extract that from the name or path.
