Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this exactly with the Dropbox API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
The closest thing would be to process all of the entries from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] with path="" and recursive=true, and keep track of the server_modified and total size values manually, but that would be more work and may not give you exactly the right values you're looking for.
- Can I achieve the point-in-time updation check of any folder and files using webhooks?
- Greg-DBWebhooks would help by letting you know that something has changed, but they doesn't offer any specific information. You would still need to call /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to get the actual information.
