Hi Greg-DB 

Thank you for your response.

Can you share proper documentation on how exactly team event logs work. Also how Can list files and folders that are inside a team folder using API.
Also is there any way I can filter events based on time?

I want to sync content of dropbox with external server.

If you want to list the contents of any particular folder, you can use the /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue endpoints. That works for both team and non-team accounts. It's not an event listing, but rather a way to list all of the contents under any particular path. I recommend reading the File Access and Team Files guides for more information.

 

For listing events on a team, you would use the /2/team_log/get_events and /2/team_log/get_events/continue endpoints, which do offer the ability to filter by date/time. Check out the Team Administration and Detecting Changes guides for more information.
