List directories only functionality

[schmidtl4]

What's the best way to get a listing only of folders. I know that folders aren't really folders but prefixes to the file name. That said, I'd like to be able to see just the folder names for a particular space. Any way to do that?

Hey, There are a couple ways that I can think of to sort of achieve folder-like functionality:

• You could store folders in a separate database at the time of upload & refer to that database when you want folders.

• You can iterate over all objects, explode() the ones containing a / using the char /, and then join n - 1 parts back to form a folder & sub-folder structure.

OK thanks - not exactly what I'd hoped for but thanks for the suggestions. Les

This could be a nice enhancement actually.

I'm reopening this a feature request

Please tell how to create a new folder in space, please tell api with example. Thanks

You can't do that directly. Spaces doesn't support having an empty folder/directory. You can upload text/file with the path, which will "create" the directory on demand: $space->uploadText('Lorem ipsum', 'folder-name/remote-filename.txt'); If all files are removed, the folder/directory will be removed too.

This library is now deprecated and this feature will not be implemented. We recommend using the official SDK or the Laravel package
