Dropbox - What ID Can Be Used To Get The Root Folder of Documents Hub Elements?

We are in the process of normalizing the documents hub even further, but there are always a few unique API provider differences and the 'ID' used to make a GET by the root folder ID is one such difference.

Currently the following values can be used in these elements to make GET calls directly against the root folder by ID (for example, GET /folders/{id}/contents or GET /folders/{id}/metadata).

  • Box: 0. For example GET /folders/0/contents.
  • Dropbox: Double URL-encoded path: %252F. For example, GET /folders/%252F/contents.
  • Google Drive: root.  For example, GET /folders/root/contents.
  • OneDrive: root. For example, GET /folders/root/contents.
  • ShareFile: Whatever value was input at instance provision as the Sharefile root folder, such as top. For example, GET /folders/top/contents.
