    <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, I think that is it. Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But is does also work with android/java, doens't it? Because the example app is in python.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I understand the tutorial right, I need a webapp on my own server. But I don't have something like that. I just have my native app on the phone authenticated with the acc of the user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am looking for a way to sync the files of the App-Folder in Dropbox with the local files if a file is modified on the PC an synced. My first thought is to react to a message from the server if one is modified and then start the sync.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But can't find anything in the documentation. Do I have to check periodically if something changed in the folder or are the message to which I can react?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>It sounds like you're looking for the "webhooks" feature. You can find more information here:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks&lt;/A&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That's correct, you need a web server where you can receive the notifications to use webhooks. The webserver doesn't have to use Python though. That's just for the example. It can run whatever you want.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you want a purely client-side solution, you can instead use "longpolling", to get low latency updates. There's &lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2013/11/low-latency-notification-of-dropbox-file-changes/" target="_blank"&gt;an old blog post that explains how this works&lt;/A&gt;. That was written for the now-retired API v1, but the concept is the same on API v2. On API v2, the endpoint is&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-longpoll" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/longpoll&lt;/A&gt;. This is also implemented &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/FilesRoutes.html#/s:FC13SwiftyDropbox11FilesRoutes18listFolderLongpollFT6cursorSS7timeoutVs6UInt64_GCS_10RpcRequestCCS_5Files34ListFolderLongpollResultSerializerCS3_33ListFolderLongpollErrorSerializer_" target="_self"&gt;in the API v2 SwiftyDropbox SDK&lt;/A&gt;, as well as &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/Classes/DBFILESUserAuthRoutes.html#/c:objc(cs)DBFILESUserAuthRoutes(im)listFolderLongpoll:" target="_self"&gt;in the API v2 Objective-C SDK&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
