Thanks a lot for adding the new fields support -- it's a terrific improvement to the API. I'd like to request that this feature be extended to the 'Get Information about a Folder' call. For example:

GET /folders/{id}?fields=name,size

The result of this call would ideally be the full folder object whose item_collection is populated with the fields I've specified. This would eliminate the need for back-to-back calls to get info about a folder and a tailored list of its contents. Many thanks!

We are actively working on delivering the ?fields feature for most of the endpoints. There are some that are harder than others. Stay tuned for this to go out soon!

Thanks for the feedback John. Are you going to make this part of your C# SDK?
