-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "New folder name"
}'
```
```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
await client.folders.updateFolderById(folderToUpdate.id, {
requestBody: {

## Name restrictions
There are some restrictions to the folder name. Names containing non-printable
ASCII characters, forward and backward slashes (`/`, `\`), as well as names
with trailing spaces are prohibited.
Additionally, the names `.` and `..` are reserved names and therefore
also prohibited.
## Timeout
Timeout for this operation is 600 seconds. The operation will complete
after a `HTTP 503` has been returned.
