Dropbox Community ModeratorThe filesListFolder[Continue] functionality is the only functionality to use to list and follow the changes in an account, if you need to support any account type. That functionality doesn't offer more specific event filtering though; it returns both new and updated files, as well as folders.
If this is a team account though, you also have the option of using the teamLogGetEvents[Continue] functionality, which offers a detailed event log of changes in a team.

Otherwise, yes, checking sharing_info.modified_by is the right way to see which user last modified the file when using the filesListFolder[Continue] functionality.
