Business API - Audit Log - Share event missing critical information

I am building a Security Audit solution for "Dropbox for Business" clients. The main information source is the new Business API - Audit Log endpoint (https://api.dropbox.com/1/team/log/get_events) ...

Unfortunately there is not currently a way to uniquely identify a shared folder from the audit log.

As a temporary solution, you could use the /shared_folders endpoint (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shared-folders) for the given user account to get a list of their shared folders, and match against these shared folder names. This has some edge cases, but should work in many situations.

Shared folder and shared link (shmodel) API support is a work in process, and this is one of the known requests we hope to address.
