That's right - 2/files/list_folder/longpoll only inform you for changes (is something changed or not). As noted in its description, could be used in combination with 2/files/list_folder/continue to get the recent changes. Before calling "longpull", you must make available valid cursor pointing the last state, so the same cursor can be used ones you get new changes to clarify what's changed. Such a cursor could be result of last call to list_folder/continue (preferred) or 2/files/list_folder/get_latest_cursor (good choice when called for the first time and no need to enumerate entire content). If you are using some SDK, corresponding methods are available.

Hope this helps.
