    <p>Im adding a "move to folder" functionality to my app with dropbox support. Im trying to get all folders, and subfolders throughout the whole users dropbox. Heres the code i have right now that if logged, has the right order but is backwards</p> <pre><code>-(void)restClient:(DBRestClient *)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata *)metadata { if (allFolders == nil) { allFolders = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; [allFolders addObject:@"/"]; } for (DBMetadata *fileMetadata in metadata.contents) { if ([fileMetadata isDirectory]) { NSArray *filePathComponents = [fileMetadata.path pathComponents]; NSString *inFolder = [filePathComponents objectAtIndex:[filePathComponents count]-2]; NSLog(@"file is in folder %@",inFolder); [allFolders insertObject:fileMetadata.filename atIndex:[allFolders indexOfObject:inFolder]]; if ([metadata.contents count] &gt; 0) [[self restClient] loadMetadata:fileMetadata.path]; } } } </code></pre> <p>the issue with this is my <code>hViewFoldersViewController</code> also has to show all folders for the documents directory for the app, and i use a custom <code>NSObject</code> called Folder Item which stores all items path, name, and indent level for the table. if i use this method, i cannot get the path because al lFolders in inside the dropbox helper class, i can move it to the <code>viewcontroller</code> but the thing that is confusing me is getting the <code>objectAtIndex</code>. if i leave it to just adding objects, it will show all first level folders, then second, then third. i want it so if in dropbox you have a folder called "test 1" and then test 1 contained "test 2", then it shows test 1, then with more indent the test 2 folder and then other first directory folders. and if i use my FolderItem in the array i cannot find the <code>objectAtIndex</code>. How can i get the index of the folders i need to insert then?</p>

    1. COFYI - The Dropbox page https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/bestpractice states that you shouldn't get a recursive listing of a user's Dropbox files.

    2. COAn app i use does it, and it would be annoying for a user to have to go through all folders to finally find the right folder. their probably just saying dont try to get every single file in the whole dropbox, im just getting folders so if they have a folder called "books" and then a subdirectory called "PDFS" they dont have to go through 2 folders, instead its on 1 page. easier.

    3. COConsider that you are doing a network call for every single directory. What is the user has dozens of directories? Why make the user wait while you do a network call for each one? Consider that in OS X, when you save a file, the user has to manually traverse the directory structure. Save time and bandwidth and consider letting the user navigate as need instead of preloading everything.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
