Invalid "cursor" parameter: this cursor is for a different user.

I have run this API https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder and it gave me cursor value, to get more files. 

 

Then I used https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue and and cursor value in body to get rest of files details however I get error: 

 

Error in call to API function "files/list_folder/continue": Invalid "cursor" parameter: this cursor is for a different user.

 

list_folder/continue do not support Dropbox-API-Select-Admin or Dropbox-API-Select-User. I have read somewhere there is need to link it to account it, however no reference how to do it. Please give solution how to receive output from files/list_folder/continue API. I am trying it through cURL using http documentation provided here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation

      Thank you. Issue fixed after using Bearer token method, rather than basic Auth method.
