    <title>topic Re: How do you track when only a file's contents have changed (API v2) in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;The rev is currently the best way to track changes like this. If the rev hasn't changed, you know that&amp;nbsp;the file contents have changed. If the rev has changed, the file contents may have changed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The rev does change when a file is moved or renamed though, as you mentioned. It sounds like you'd be better suited by a hash of the file contents.&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't currently offer files hashes like this,&amp;nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How would I track when a file's contents have changed remotely?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've seen the "rev" value, but this also increments&amp;nbsp;when the file is moved/renamed, and I'd like to ignore&amp;nbsp;any changes not related to the content changing.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The Dropbox API now offers a hash of file data that you can use to verify a file's contents. You can find it in FileMetadata.content_hash. It isn't a single MD5 or SHA1, but rather a combination of SHA256 hashes of the pieces of the file. You can find more information here:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash&lt;/A&gt;</description>
