Dropbox cursor issues

# The examples are in Ruby using RestClient (an http library)


# Already have a cursor for this user retreived the last time I called /2/files/list_folder/continue

# Calling the above returns the following JSON:

# We then take this new cursor and store it.
#
#
# Before I do anything I’ll also call off to list_folder with the recursive option set to true, simply to grab another cursor

# Cursor comes back with:

#
# And the full json response is:
# https://gist.github.com/phawk/d60ab38151eb8b6fa43c

# Now I will create a new folder in the dropbox and add an image to the root folder and also inside this new folder
#
# The files I have created are as follows:
# - /City Hall Spire.jpg
# - (folder) /star labs
# - /star labs/DSC00845.jpg

# We’ll go off first with the cursor retrieved as part of the /list_folder/continue call
