    <title>topic Re: I need a php/js based webapp that syncs files between it's server and it's dropbox app folder in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;You can store the last&amp;nbsp;received cursor from&amp;nbsp;/2/files/list_folder or /2/files/list_folder/continue and then call back later to&amp;nbsp;/2/files/list_folder/continue with that cursor. The response will contain entries for the changes since you last called. Check out &lt;A href="http:/2/files/list_folder" target="_self"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;/2/files/list_folder documentation&lt;/A&gt; for more information on how to process these entries.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Exactly how you write your code will depend on what exactly you need your app to do of course, but I imagine other people have implemented things like this. Perhaps others on the forum can offer some insight on their experience when doing so if they see this thread.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It only needs to be a one way sync (from dropbox to the server) Any recommended libraries/tutorials/endpoints to do this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[ same q dif platform&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61755432/dropbox-server-integration-php-library" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61755432/dropbox-server-integration-php-library&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox doesn't offer a pre-built library or tutorial for a sync client,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API does offer the ability to list, upload, and download files programmatically&amp;nbsp;though, among other operations, so you can implement&amp;nbsp;whatever kind of syncing you need in your app's code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For example, to list files and folders:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To download files:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To upload files:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_self"&gt;the official SDKs&lt;/A&gt; if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.&amp;nbsp;Dropbox does offer &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js" target="_self"&gt;an official JavaScript SDK&lt;/A&gt;, but not one for PHP. For PHP, you could use the endpoints as above, or a third party library, such as the ones &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/communitysdks" target="_self"&gt;listed here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;to further the quality of my question - I hope this helps:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Q: describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A: the problem is im not sure what mechanism to use to determine changes to dropbox app folder, maybe webhooks?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks" target="_self"&gt;Webhooks&lt;/A&gt; can tell you when something changed, but not what changed. To find out what changed, you would then use the list_folder endpoints. In addition to letting you list the contents, the list_folder endpoints also enable you to keep track of new changes over time:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I also recommend reviewing &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-access-guide" target="_self"&gt;the Content Access Guide&lt;/A&gt; for some more information.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok so how do i find out what changed? is it a file property?&lt;BR /&gt;please dont tell me ur refering to the date modified property? unless that could work as i could say "if it has changed in the last five minutes after the webhook fired then download it"...&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Side note: Is there a statergy for this requirement or am i the only person in the world who has ever considered such things? lol&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Endpoints to use:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Initial sync: download to zip (then extract)&lt;BR /&gt;- Thereafter syncs:&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp; - Check for changes trigger: Use a webhook&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp; - Check for changes: Use a cursor&lt;/P&gt;</description>
