Hi.

 

I am going to try to move some folders(including multiple files) in my app which is made with Boxr.

https://github.com/cburnette/boxr

 

I would like to know if it's possible that moving a folder that includes multiple files in a single API call, if I use the Boxr method below.

 

move_folder(folder, new_parent, name: nil, if_match: nil)

 

I am worried that the requests can count number of files in a folder then exceed API calls limit.

 For example, if I move a folder which includes 5 files in my app. Does this count As 1 API call or 5 API calls??

 

Thank you.

 Moving a folder with our Ruby gem counts as 1 API call. Here is the underlying implementation of this method, which calls the Update Folder endpoint.
