How to control already updated files with JAVA API?
Hello!
I'm very new with this API and didn't have much time to go through a lot of stuff. But, from what I saw, I couldn't find a way to control,programmatically inside a folder, files that have already been uploaded to Dropbox.
Just like the client Dropbox does.
If somebody could help me by giving an example or a direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

What do you mean be "control" exactly? What operations do you need to perform?
Than
ks for the response and I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.
But anyways, I need the API to tell me what files have been already uploaded to dropbox.
When you have a Dropbox folder in your PC.
Like this:
Just to illustrate, the goal of my app is to create a folder for each client, allowing the client to add files to the folder, so that the app can upload those files through the Dropbox API. However, it can't be a shared folder, because if the client delete a file, this file can not be deleted in the server. Or, if the client already sent a file, the app should not upload this file again or replace a existing file.

You can use the API to list files uploaded to Dropbox. The API can't tell you about files that are currently uploading, but not yet complete, though.
For example, to list files in a folder, you can use the listFolder method in the Java SDK.
You can also perform other operations like uploading and downloading files.
