Cursor of a folder - which folder does it belong to?

Hi there,

When I have stored a cursor from a previous https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder call, is there any way to get which folder this cursor belongs too?

I can do a list_folder by id, but I don't see any way to get a listing based on a cursor.

I can do list_folder/continue with the cursor, but if nothing changed, I just get an empty array and a cursor, but not a folder name.

Can this be done?

  • No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to look up the path/ID for a particular cursor. When storing a cursor in your app, you should have the app record what that cursor is for.
