# GET /folders

List the folders the authenticated user can access. Use the returned `id` values in `folderIds` when you want generated output stored in a specific folder.

### What folders are

Folders organize Gammas within a workspace. When you generate content via the API, it lands in the workspace root by default. Pass one or more folder `id` values as `folderIds` in `POST /generations` or `POST /generations/from-template` to file the generated Gamma into specific folders automatically.

### Pagination

Results are cursor-paginated. Each response includes `hasMore` (boolean) and `nextCursor` (string or null). To fetch the next page, pass the `nextCursor` value as the `after` query parameter. Use `limit` (1-50, default 20) to control page size. Use `query` to filter folders by name.

## List folders

> Lists all folders the authenticated user is a member of within the workspace.
