Point-in-time track of dropbox resources
How can I check which objects like files,folders and space used has been changed after a specific time or date? In short,how can I get a point-in-time change of my dropbox resources?

Dropbox StaffUnfortunately there isn't a way to do this exactly with the Dropbox API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
The closest thing would be to process all of the entries from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] with path="" and recursive=true, and keep track of the server_modified and total size values manually, but that would be more work and may not give you exactly the right values you're looking for.
Can I achieve the point-in-time updation check of any folder and files using webhooks?
- Greg-DBWebhooks would help by letting you know that something has changed, but they doesn't offer any specific information. You would still need to call /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to get the actual information.
