Hi Greg ,
for your questions:
- nothing returnning any entries :(
i want to verify i am doing all thinks right.
1. when i get a notification i need to return an answer with status of 200 in 10 sec.
then i am doing another change in dropbox and i am calling :
var res2 = client.AsMember(null).Files.ListFolderGetLatestCursorAsync("");
and then to
var res4 = client.AsMember(null).Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(res22.Result.Cursor);
no result of changes .file or folder.
questions:
- what is the maxsimum time that i have to call the listFolderContinue to get the changes.
- how do i know i am using the right Cursor?
if i am calling (.ListFolderGetLatestCursorAsync) - is that OK?
do you have some sample code in C# that maybe i can test it .
i really need to get it to work .
thanks from advance
Thnak you greg for your help -
ok greg i manage to get the changes from dropbox.
but now i have another question if i can :).
1. when i renmae a file i get 2 notifications
- deleted metadata
- file Metadata
questions:
1. how do i know the relations between the two?
2. if i am getting two file renamed - so actually i get 2 notification for deleted metadata and 2 notifications for file metadata .
i do i know who belong to who?
3. in the object there are to objects (as deleted , as file ) that are both recursice and looping . so if i want to serelize the object it is not possible . i am using nuget version 4.7.0 - is this issue fix later on ?
hope you can help me as soon as possible
is there any chnage we can continue this by email ?
waiting for your input

1. When you receive a DeletedMetadata, it will contain a PathLower value. That's the path at which the item used to exist.
You should look up that entry in whatever local state you're maintaing and remove it.
When you receive a FileMetadata, it will contain an Id value. You can compare that to previous entries that you had to see if it was moved/renamed from another location.
2. File IDs are unique, so as above, you can use them to identify different files across move/rename operations.
3. I'm not sure I understand this question. Can you clarify?
