Create an API folder and verify its parent
Create an API folder and verify its parent with a controlled test, clear verification, limits, and recovery steps.
Last reviewed
Create an API folder and verify its parent is easier to verify when you use one controlled item and confirm the account, workspace, source, and destination at each step. This guide follows the current Dosya workflow and identifies the result you should see.
Before you start
- Open the Dosya REST API and a disposable folder in the current released client.
- Confirm the active account and workspace, then identify parent folder ID and unique test folder name.
- Use a small non-confidential test item and record its current state before changing it.
- Keep passwords, API keys, recovery keys, private links, personal data, and confidential file contents out of screenshots and support messages.
Steps: create an API folder and verify its parent
- Open the Dosya REST API and a disposable folder and confirm the active account and workspace.
- Locate parent folder ID and unique test folder name and verify its name or identifying details.
- Send one create request, record the returned ID, and list the parent to verify the new child.
- Read the displayed warning, permission, progress, or confirmation state before leaving the screen.
- Confirm that one folder exists under the intended parent.
- Refresh, fetch, or reopen the relevant view once to verify the result persisted.

Expected result
The controlled workflow completes and one folder exists under the intended parent. The result remains visible after a refresh, reconnect, or return to the relevant screen.
Limits and important details
- Available controls depend on the current client version, account plan, workspace role, policy, and selected integration surface.
- Processing, indexing, background transfer, provider authorization, or storage accounting can delay a visible result.
- For destructive, access-changing, or automated actions, validate with disposable data before applying the workflow to important files.
Troubleshooting
The expected control is missing. Return to the Dosya REST API and a disposable folder, confirm the active workspace, and check that your role and client version support the action.
The operation is rejected or stalls. Read the exact message and check permissions, locks, storage, network state, source availability, and any third-party authorization before retrying.
The result is still unclear. Repeat with one small test item, then contact support with the time, client version, workspace, and a nonsecret error, delivery, or request identifier.
