Re: Activities performed by non-team member

Activities performed by non-team member

Hey,

With the API, 

https://api.dropbox.com/1/team/log/get_events

I am getting events for all the activities performed by the non-team members. But I don't see any way to get file meta data for that files. In this, it is difficult to check with which team member the file is shared with. Since, "member_id" is 'null'.

The following is response I get for the activities done for the external users.

{
"event_type": "add_files",
"member_id": null,
"info_dict": {
"host_id": 1,
"is_dir": false,
"file_id": "id:*********PAAAAAAAAAABw",
"path": "/external/test.txt"
},
"ip_address": "*********",
"user_id": null,
"name": "***@gmail.com",
"country": "IN",
"event_type_description": "Added files",
"event_category": "files",
"time": "2016-09-15T13:09:18+00:00",
"email": "***@gmail.com"
}

The response is very similar for other activities like renaming files, version upload.

It would really help if response contains team_member_id.

Hi Muralidhar, this seems to be a duplicate of your latest request in this thread:

https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/208693686-Dropbox-1-team-log-get-events-is-giv...

I've already sent that along as a feature request, but please let me know if I've misunderstood.

Hey Gregory, it's the same request,
there I had requested for upload events, now I see same response for all kinds of events like rename, move, version upload.
Thanks,
Murali
