Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello guys,
I'm trying to implement a way of accessing the user's recent files. I looked on the API but found no way to access the "Recents" folder directly.
I thought about using list_folder with the recursive flag turned on and then sorting files on the user's device, but this may lead to a lot of calls until I can get all files. So, this doesn't seem a good solution.
Is there any way to access recent files using the API? I would appreciate any tips on how to solve this problem.
Best regards.
The API doesn't currently offer any functionality for events or recents, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
That being the case, the method of staying up to date with list_folder is the best solution.
Thanks for the information, Gregory.
