sarshavs, If you want to check if there is some event (file/folder change), usage of endpoint /2/files/list_folder/longpoll is much more efficient compared to continuously pooling. Such a solution would work with both personal and team account. Once an event appears you can check what has changed.
Good luck.

I just said it's more efficient - low latency (if this is important for you). Something that difficult can be achieved just looping with listing only. For individual account you cannot achieve information who changed particular file, only the file(s) can be figured out. For team account, you have to use team endpoints though. In your application you can decide whether you have to use team endpoints based on current account in use (is it team or individual). That's it.
