Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Before V1 deprecated API user to give information about all the categories. After it is deprecated I am not able see events for files category. Please provide more information about the same. Is the API /1/team/log/get_events call restricted to provide events on files or some bug is stopping me to get information about files.
My request does not has any category filter.

Thanks Gregory,
Yes for the first time I am still using '/2/files/list_folder' to list all the files. If I want to get any changes done later in the app, using API /2/files/list_folder/continue, for each user in the team I have to do a API call to get list of files modified and '/1/team/log/get_events' to get all other changes.
With the API /1/team/log/get_events, If we get all the changes it would really help to reduce API calls I am doing.
Hey,
I checked it today for the files uploaded by a non team member. I am seeing events for the files. Thanks for the update.
The response I am seeing here for the file event is
{
"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"
}
Here both member_id, user_id is null, How do I get file's metadata here?
If you know what team member's account has the shared folder, you can use member file access to call /2/files/get_metadata for that file ID.
The event log unfortunately doesn't currently indicate which member(s) have that shared folder though, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request too.
Thanks you,
Here I am firing API call across the team, So I have no clue which team member have that shared folder.
Thanks,
