    Dropbox doesn't offer a 'content_hash' or equivalent for entire folders, only files, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

     

    If you want to verify an entire folder, you'd need to check each individual file in the folder you're interested in verifying.
