Will keep it short and sweet.
I am looking to build a folder structure traversal UX that includes search/sort/filtering capabilities.
e.g.
Find me files with metadata attribute == X in folder Y
It doesn’t seem like this is possible today.
There are three APIs in question
Get Folder Items
Search
Metadata Query
Search and Metadata Query do not have the ability to only search within a single folder. Get Folder Items is limited in it’s filtering capabilities.
It seems like an attribute I would expect in the metadata query filter options. ancestor_folder_id does not look at just a single folder, it looks at all folders below, which means we cannot recreate the folder structure navigation experience without serious server interception (prohibitively expensive).
Has anyone solved this? Is this a known issue in the API offering?
