How do I tell from the result I get in the closure I pass to the response method what the changes are? In the closure for the response method I set for listFolder, .entries is thel list of all the current files and folders. What would entries be for the response of the listFolderContinue methods? Would .entries also be the list of current files and folders, or do I get specific information like what had been added and what had been deleted since my last query?

Dropbox Community ModeratorAccessing the ListFolderResult.entries as returned by listFolder is the right way to begin listing the contents of a folder. Note that it is not guaranteed to return all of the results though. The interface is paginated, so you may need to call back to listFolderContinue to get more entries. (It also returns a ListFolderResult.)
Likewise, you can later call back to listFolderContinue again to get any further changes. It will return only things that have changed since your previous call, based on the passed cursor. Please refer to the listFolder documentation for information on how to use these.
