Re: Point-in-time track of dropbox resources

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?

Unfortunately 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?

Webhooks 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.
