Notify When File Change
Hi Dropbox Team,
After I migrated from DB api V1 to V2, I have a problem about sync files. I don't know when the file is changed from Dropbox.
Please help me.
Thanks,

If you're building a server-side app, the best way to know when things change is to use webhooks:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks
If you're building a client-side app, the best way to know when things change is to use /2/files/list_folder/longpoll: (or the respective method in whatever SDK/library you're using, if any)
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-longpoll
If you're running in to trouble getting the API working with your app, I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the full text of any error or output
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including the relevant code snippet(s)- Vang G.Explorer | Level 3Hi Greg K.,
I tried with
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-longpoll, But it work incorrect, I dont know exactly what files change when I delete.
Unlike Api v1.
Please help me :(
Thanks,
