List all files recursively inside a shared folder using the dropbox node sdk
Hi, trying to list all files recursively inside a folder shared with my account by another account through the Node SDK. The folder is inside Shared -> Folders.
Tried the following methods but none of them give me a list of files:
sharingListFolders (just returns the folder object)
sharingListSharedLinks
sharingGetSharedLinkMetadata
sharingListReceivedFiles
sharingListMountableFolders
Is there a method that does what I want?
Looks like filesListFolder does work if I specify the path for the shared folder, but it doesn't seem to like the recursive parameter. Any reason I cannot list files for a shared folder recursively but I can for my own folder?
I get a list of folders and files inside the shared folder if I don't pass in recursive, but I only get the shared folder object if I do. I wanted a flat list of all files inside the shared folder

Hi sanchitcop1997,
Could you confirm whether the property "has_more" in the response has a value of "true"? If so, you will need to retrieve the "cursor" value from the response to then call filesListFolderContinue({ cursor: cursor }), with the value of that "cursor" property.
Thanks for the quick response! Will try and get back
