This route helps you commit many files at once into a user's Dropbox. Use :route:`upload_session/start` and :route:`upload_session/append_v2` to upload file contents. We recommend uploading many files in parallel to increase throughput. Once the file contents have been uploaded, rather than calling :route:`upload_session/finish`, use this route to finish all your upload sessions in a single request.
:field:`UploadSessionStartArg.close` or :field:`UploadSessionAppendArg.close` needs to be true for the last :route:`upload_session/start` or :route:`upload_session/append_v2` call. The maximum size of a file one can upload to an upload session is 350 GB.
This route will return a job_id immediately and do the async commit job in background. Use :route:`upload_session/finish_batch/check` to check the job status.
For the same account, this route should be executed serially. That means you should not start the next job before current job finishes. We allow up to 1000 entries in a single request.

Files - Upload Session - Finish Batch

Starts returning the contents of a folder. If the result's :field:`ListFolderResult.has_more` field is :val:`true`, call :route:`list_folder/continue` with the returned :field:`ListFolderResult.cursor` to retrieve more entries.
If you're using :field:`ListFolderArg.recursive` set to :val:`true` to keep a local cache of the contents of a Dropbox account, iterate through each entry in order and process them as follows to keep your local state in sync:
For each :type:`FileMetadata`, store the new entry at the given path in your local state. If the required parent folders don't exist yet, create them. If there's already something else at the given path, replace it and remove all its children.
For each :type:`FolderMetadata`, store the new entry at the given path in your local state. If the required parent folders don't exist yet, create them. If there's already something else at the given path, replace it but leave the children as they are. Check the new entry's :field:`FolderSharingInfo.read_only` and set all its children's read-only statuses to match.
For each :type:`DeletedMetadata`, if your local state has something at the given path, remove it and all its children. If there's nothing at the given path, ignore this entry.
Note: :type:`auth.RateLimitError` may be returned if multiple :route:`list_folder` or :route:`list_folder/continue` calls with same parameters are made simultaneously by same API app for same user. If your app implements retry logic, please hold off the retry until the previous request finishes.

# Continuous Import of Files and Folders (Drive Items) to Your App

This scenario enables your application to continuously sync and download Files and Folders (Drive Items) from any external application to your app's API. It handles the initial import of Drive Items and keeps them synchronized when a drive item is created, updated, or deleted in the external application.

When receiving Files data from the external application, the data is transformed into a format supported by your app's API. Additionally, if needed, your customers can customize the data mapping based on their specific external application setup.

## How It Works

1. **Initial Import**:
   - Perform the initial import by calling the Integration.app REST API or SDK in a loop from your code to retrieve data page by page.
   - Integration.app transforms the output into a consistent format compatible with your API, allowing you to save the data efficiently.

2. **Continuous Sync**:
   - Enable subscription via a single API or SDK call to continuously receive created, updated, or deleted events.
   - Integration.app manages all integration-specific logic, including subscribing to/unsubscribing from webhooks, custom polling of events, or performing periodic full syncs.
   - You will only receive the necessary events as real-time as supported by the external application's API.

3. **Download File**:
   - Make a single API request to start file download from external app, it will return download file URI, that you can use to download file from any source in the same way

# Get all Folders

This scenario enables your application to get a complete list of Folders from any external application to your app's API in the same way. 

When receiving Folders data from the external application, the data is transformed into a format supported by your app's API. Additionally, if needed, your customers can customize the data mapping based on their specific external application setup.

## How It Works

You will call a Integration.app REST API endpoint or SDK methods to retrieve a single page of Folders along with the `cursor` if next page is available.
Repeate this request in a loop from your code to retrieve all Folders page by page.


Get all Folders

Imports all Folders from any external application to your App.

# Realtime Full two-way Sync of Folders

This scenario enables your application to fully sync Folders between your app and any external application in both directions. It handles the initial import/export of Folders and then sends events when a Folder is created, updated, or deleted on any side, as close to real-time as possible.

Folder fields will be mapped from your application's schema to the application-specific schema.

## How It Works

1. **Initial Sync**:
   - Perform the initial import by calling the Integration.app REST API or SDK in a loop from your code to retrieve data page by page. Integration.app transforms the output into a consistent format compatible with your API, allowing you to save and match data efficiently.
   - Make another set of requests to create Folders in external app, if needed.

2. **Continuous Sync from External App**:
   - Enable subscription via a single API or SDK call to continuously receive created, updated, or deleted events from external applications.
   - Integration.app manages all integration-specific logic, including subscribing to/unsubscribing from webhooks, custom polling of events, or performing periodic full syncs.
   - You will only receive the necessary events as real-time as supported by the external application's API.


2. **Continuous Sync from Your App**:
   - You will get a single webhook URI that you will use to send events about created, updated, or deleted Folders to Integration.app.
   - Once send, Integration.app will map the webhook payload to the format supported by external application and send the correct request
