    <description>&lt;P&gt;There isn't a way to get notified of sharing actions like this unfortunately,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you found, /list_folder/continue is only for actual file/folder changes, which doesn't include sharing activity, and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;list_received_files interface doesn't work the same way as list_folder.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Watch received files in a dropbox account</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would like to watch for changes to all files&amp;nbsp;in a&amp;nbsp;Dropbox account. I have implemented the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Call&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;/list_folder/get_latest_cursor to get a cursor to a users files. I store this locally.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) I then call list_folder/continue and get any&amp;nbsp;delta from previous hanges&amp;nbsp;and store the&amp;nbsp;new cursor locally. This then repeats periodically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This appears to be working for files that&amp;nbsp;a user adds to their account. However it doesn't return when a file is shared or unshared by another user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I then tried list_received_files and&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;list_received_files_continue. This however does not appear to work the same way as list_folder, as it doesn't return a cusor when no more results are present, so I can't keep polling for a delta. I have to retrieve all received files everytime. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;My usecase is that I want to watch for changes to any files, shared folders, or recieved files for a Dropbox user. What is the easiest way to do this?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks for the help.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the clarification. Are webhooks any help for this scenerio? Will i get notified via a webhook when a file is shared to a user?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, webhooks would only notify of filesystem changes, i.e., like&amp;nbsp;/list_folder/continue would report, not sharing changes.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(There is technically some additional functionality for Business apps/teams, but it sounds like you're not referring to a Business app/team, so that wouldn't apply. Let me know if not though.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
