Notifications for modified files is not working. https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/longpoll is not returning when files are modified.

Can you try again and let me know if you're still seeing the issue? Thanks in advance!

Really? It's been 23 hours. My clients are down - we rely on timely notification of a "command" file that's been updated. My business is suffering. This doesn't reflect well from a company that claims to support enterprise level functionality.

Yes, I'm seeing the expected behavior and times of a couple of seconds. That looks normal. Thank you.

Still not working.
For simple testing I used API Explorer (https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder)
Getting the content of a folder within my dropbox account and the cursor.Then I'm using the longpoll with this cursor and 30 seconds timeout (https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder/longpoll) and then I deleted a child folder within the previously mentioned folder.
Longpoll times out with "changes : false".
Also the Dropbox integration within my APP still isn't working.- Thomas_4 years agoExplorer | Level 3
And it looks like, if I'm refreshing the Dropbox web page, the deletion evt is eventually triggered and my longpoll is returning with "changes: true". But without refreshing, it is not working. Though I see the folder is removed at the Dropbox web page.
