Dropbox /1/team/log/get_events is giving events except category "files"

Before V1 deprecated API user to give information about all the categories. After it is deprecated I am not able see events for files category. Please provide more information about the same. Is the API /1/team/log/get_events call restricted to provide events on files or some bug is stopping me to get information about files.

My request does not has any category filter.

request body:

{
"start_ts" : 1469603296000
}

Thanks,

Murali

    Hey,

    I checked it today for the files uploaded by a non team member. I am seeing events for the files. Thanks for the update.

    The response I am seeing here for the file event is

    {
    "event_type": "add_files",
    "member_id": null,
    "info_dict": {
    "host_id": 1,
    "is_dir": false,
    "file_id": "id:*********PAAAAAAAAAABw",
    "path": "/external/test.txt"
    },
    "ip_address": "*********",
    "user_id": null,
    "name": "***@gmail.com",
    "country": "IN",
    "event_type_description": "Added files",
    "event_category": "files",
    "time": "2016-09-15T13:09:18+00:00",
    "email": "***@gmail.com"
    }

    Here both member_id, user_id is null, How do I get file's metadata here?

    If you know what team member's account has the shared folder, you can use member file access to call /2/files/get_metadata for that file ID.

    The event log unfortunately doesn't currently indicate which member(s) have that shared folder though, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request too.
