Both your suggestions using business api so for non business i would need to use something different.
Note that the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints can be used by any type of account, Business or not.

Another question - all the non business accounts has upgraded to be business accounts? so every account now will support the business api if that the case it will work for me with using the get events ep.
No, not all Business accounts have or will be upgraded to Business accounts. Dropbox offers a variety of different types of plans and users can choose which to use.
If not so does i need to supply in list folder ep for non business account the member id or i will get all the files for any user in the non business account?
When the app is linked to a specific account (Business or not), the app does not need to specify the member ID when calling /2/files/list_folder[/continue], since there is only one account connected anyway. (When the app is connected to the team itself, it needs to specify the member ID in order to identify which account to operate on.)

i want to be able to store one cursor for the account which will detect any change in the account for any user.
For any particular user account, you can use the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] functionality, starting with a path parameter of the empty string "", to continuously list the contents of that root using the last returned cursor. You would store multiple cursors, one per user account, to monitor multiple user accounts.
I suggest reading the File Access Guide and Detecting Changes Guide, if you haven't already.
Greg-DB Thanks alot for that elaborate answer !
So for non business accounts i have nothing to worry about because we have only one user.
But for business account there may be option to not use team space configuration and if that the case does the team/get_events endpoint will return all events in the account?

sarshavs Yes, /2/team_log/get_events is supported for teams with the team space configuration.
If you're interested in event types from the "file_operations" category though, note that those are only available to some Business plans, per the documentation:
Note that the file_operations category and & analogous paper events are not available on all Dropbox Business plans. Use features/get_values to check for this feature.
The list_folder functionality can be used by any account though.
