File upload or file edit doesn't appear in the monitoring activity log

AFAIU, when I upload file or edit file, it should appear in security - monitoring log.  I uploaded multiple files and it still doesn't appear in monitoring. What do I do wrong?  Thank you, Evgen...

Hi EvgeniyJK, thanks for bringing this to our attention

 

File actions, such as uploading and editing files, are available on Dropbox teams that are on the Advanced or Enterprise subscription.

 

What plan do you currently have according to this page?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hey Jay,

I'm Dropbox Standart
What is strange is that, I see this events in dropbox.com/events, but I don't get these events ( file_add, file_edit) in the API. /get_events

    Are you creating an app to use the Dropbox API to access your files on your account?

      Yes, I do create scoped app. I check all right permissions, and I do get events of other event_types, like: 

      shared_link_create
