Working with files

Get File/Folder Metadata

Get the Metadata for a file or folder.

Example

$file = $dropbox->getMetadata("/hello-world.txt");

With options:

$file = $dropbox->getMetadata("/hello-world.txt", ["include_media_info" => true, "include_deleted" => true]);

Fetch file details:

//Id
$file->getId();

//Name
$file->getName();

//Size
$file->getSize();

The getMetadata() method will return an instance of the FileMetadata model.

For available options see: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata

List Folder Contents

Get the contents of a Folder.

Example

$listFolderContents = $dropbox->listFolder("/");

//Fetch Items
$items = $listFolderContents->getItems();

//Fetch Cusrsor for listFolderContinue()
$cursor = $listFolderContents->getCursor();

//If more items are available
$hasMoreItems = $listFolderContents->hasMoreItems();

The listFolder() method will return an instance of the MetadataCollection model.

$listFolderContents = $dropbox->listFolder("/");

//Fetch Items (Returns an instance of ModelCollection)
$items = $listFolderContents->getItems();

//All Items
$items->all();

//First Item
$items->first();

//Last Item
$items->last();

Further calling the getItems() method of the MetadataCollection model, will return an instance of the ModelCollection model, which extends the awesome Collection class. See it's Available methods.
