Description

When I get a folder information with "client.folders.get_folder_by_id(folder_id, fields=['name', 'path_collection'])", I can get a path_collection that is a FolderPathCollectionField object.

But when I get a subfolder information with "client.folders.get_folder_items(folder_id, fields=['name', 'path_collection'])", I got a path_collection that is a dict type. I known the subfolder is a FolderMini type.

So, when I treat a path_collection, I must distinct the folder type (FolderFull or FolderMini).
Or have any good way to treat them no need to judge them?

Thanks.
