    Rolana There isn't a documented guarantee on this for /2/files/get_thumbnail_batch, but changes should be reflected more or less immediately.

Greg-DB Is there a chance that some previews can be generated in 10 or more minutes after changes applied?

Rolana There's no particular guarantee on that. Can you clarify if something isn't working for you? For example, are you are seeing delays of 10 minutes in practice?

    No, it works perfect now) I'm trying to implement logic of updating dropbox files preview dynamically (every time user makes some changes in file they must appear in my app) and I'm just preparing for unexpected situations
