Notes

Returns only direct subfolders (one level deep) of the specified path.
Setting all flags to false gives the best performance for large folder trees.
For a lightweight list (folder names and IDs only), use GetFolders1 instead.
For paged results with filtering, use GetFoldersByPage.
For a combined list of folders and documents, use GetFoldersAndDocuments.

GetFolders1 - Get subfolders in short form (name and ID only)
GetFolders2 - Get subfolders with UI display count limit
GetFoldersByPage - Get paged subfolders with filter
GetFolder - Get properties of a single folder
GetFoldersAndDocuments - Get both folders and documents
