Hi, 

 

To get the file size, i am using the parameter size

for files in folder_1:
    if files.type != 'folder':
        print(files.size)

But i am getting an error saying 

AttributeError: 'File' object has no attribute 'size'

 

This page lists size as an attribute the get the file size. What am i missing?

   by default the Get Folder Items endpoint only returns mini representations of the File object, which does not include the size. Pass the fields parameter into the API call with a comma seperated list of fields you want for each file/folder, e.g. "name,size,id,type"
