How to check if property group associated with file has changed or not
How can we check if file or folder's property group has changed or values of property has changed?
Property Group is like extra metadata of file or folder, assigned by user.
- I want if we can determine that files property group has changed (same property group has extra fields added to it or new property group is assign to it.).
- Also I want to know, if we can determine that property value has changed. (Same property group but filed value has changed)
Does any of above is possible via dropbox API?

1. To check the current template for a particular file property template for a user, call /2/file_properties/templates/get_for_user. For a file property template for a team, call /2/file_properties/templates/get_for_team.
2. To check the current file property values for a particular file property template for a particular file, call /2/files/get_metadata for the file and set the relevant 'include_property_groups' parameter value. Or for files under a particular folder path, likewise use /2/files/list_folder[/continue].
