    <description>&lt;P&gt;That's correct, when you move or rename a file, it gets reported as a deletion and addition. Unfortunately DeletedMetadata doesn't include the file ID,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For files, you can call&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_revisions" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer"&gt;/2/files/list_revisions&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the path from the DeletedMetadata to get the history of the file at that path though, including the&amp;nbsp;file ID(s).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Alternatively, you can store&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;the path and id for the each last (File|Folder)Metadata you saw, so that when you get a DeletedMetadata, you can check what the last known file ID was for that path.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;When I rename a file or make any other changes to the file such as changing directory, etc, I am getting back two entries when I call l&lt;SPAN&gt;ist_folder/continue with the cursor. It is becoming difficult for me to differentiate the file changes from the deleted files. Also, the entry with the ".tag": "deleted" doesn't come with an ID to work with. Is there any other way to get around this issue? Am I missing something?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
