Notes

  • startingRow is zero-based: startingRow=0 returns from the first record, startingRow=50 skips the first 50.
  • To retrieve all folders without paging, pass startingRow=0 and a sufficiently large rowCount.
  • Ownership is determined by the folder owner field. Library root folders (domains) are not included.
