How to get file request time rather than server or client modified
Hello.
I am able to retrieve recently changed files using
/2/files/search_v2
and I see that I can choose
server_modified
or
client_modified
...
Is there a way to get the date of the request itself?
In other words, if I open a file the close it without saving it, is there a record of that file exchange between the client and server?
No, unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to retrieve the time a file was opened and not modified like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
