    <description>&lt;P&gt;I am accessing dropbox files through the shared folder on my machine rather than the API.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to access the shared folder data like user name and email through this route?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Additionally, I am using python and exifread to access file metadata.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Jared, no, shared folder metadata isn't available locally on the file system, nor is there an interface for asking for it from the desktop client itself. The only option is to use the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API,&amp;nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks, It would be really nice if it could be added to the file metadata as a dictionary of dropbox metadata... or something like that.&amp;nbsp; Then, as files are passed around, the dropbox information (and I guess an advertisement -- if you think about it like that) would be passed along with it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there any way for me to add this sort of system to my dropbox by writing code that is run when my user adds a file?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would assume not.&amp;nbsp; Dropbox is great, but I have been sorely disappointed by its flexibility.&amp;nbsp; Unless I see some major changes (like being able to share parent and child folders separately)&amp;nbsp;it is unlikely that I will&amp;nbsp;continue to be a customer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This would be possible using the API. You could use webhook to be notified of changes that occur, if this is a server-side app:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or /list_folder/longpoll if it's a client-side app:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-longpoll" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-longpoll&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And then use the shared folder metadata endpoints to get the desired information:&lt;/P&gt;
