title: Enumerating folders and files using Google Drive SDK V2
body: <p>I am a little confused by the <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference">v2 Google Drive SDK</a>.</p>
  
  <p>There seems to be 2 methods to retrieve information about files and folders.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/list">files.list</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/children/list">children.list</a></p>
  
  <p>Using <code>files.list</code> I do not seem to be able to narrow my search to files in a specific folder but using <code>children.list</code> only returns very basic file information such as ID. There are no filenames.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like I have to retrieve a list of children and then perform a request for each child to find out its filename which seems very inefficient.</p>
  
  <p>What is the normal\correct way to enumerate folders and their contents using Google Drive? </p>
