      <title>Determine which file is which in .dropbox.cache.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Determine-which-file-is-which-in-dropbox-cache/m-p/378673#M844</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am trying to make a dropbox integration that takes into account both the web API and the desktop client. The desktop client doesn't have an API of its own, so I have to use some hacks to get what I want. I can already map local files to online files by using the JSON file to find the root folder. As shown here&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/locate-dropbox-folder" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/locate-dropbox-folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, I would also like to know the sync progress of files. I see that whenever I sync something, the file is first downloaded to ".dropbox.cache\new_files". It seems to have some random name (which is not the ID of the file).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there any way to determine which file is being synced by looking in the new_files folder? The idea is to then show progress by dividing the size on disk of that file by the online file size.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have an idea how I could match this temporary file to the actual file?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer any way to check the desktop client sync status or identify files in the cache like this,&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;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Greg, thanks for the input.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you know if there could be any other creative ways to check the sync status? When something is being synced, it shows this blue arrow icon. I guess it is stored somewhere on that file to tell file explorer which icon to show. Do you know if there is a way to get that information from that file? (I'm only interested in Windows.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Got it. I'll have to see how to handle this situation then. Thanks for the quick reply.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
