You can use /2/files/search_v2 to search for items, and set options.file_categories to "folder" to restrict the results to folders only. Refer to the documentation for more information. You can also try out calls using the API v2 Explorer.

  Just to be clear, are you asking how to perform this search on the Dropbox website in your browser, or are you using an app or other programing to do the search? I ask because you've posted this in the API section, which is for people that are programming their own application to connect to Dropbox.

  prabhat1999, It's impossible, unfortunately. Dropbox API (including Python SDK, you are using) doesn't provide such a feature.
