List shared folders without folder id
When listing sharing folders via API https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_folders
There is no `folder_id` in the returning metadata of all entries.
...
I don't have a guarantee to offer on if/when the 'folder_id' field would be set, but if you're trying to identify shared folders across users, you can use the 'shared_folder_id' field instead. The 'shared_folder_id' field is a non-optional field on SharedFolderMetadata, and the value will be consistent across members of the same shared folder.
