Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
In API 1, DBMetadata would report -clientMTime and -lastModifiedDate dates for any time of meta-data, including folders.
In API 2, it seems that -clientModified and -serverModified are only available for DBFILESFileMetadata and not for DBFILESFolderMetadata. So how do I get the modification date for a folder?
Thanks,

Ouch. My whole caching method relies on storing a date against every file and folder. That's a bit of a blow for a smooth transition...
Hmm, revisiting the code, it seems I mainly used the modification dates against folders for consistency with the way files were cached. The problem is less that they are needed for any comparison and more that the cached database file saves folder names against the dates. I should just be able to use any date for folders without it causing any problems, I think.
Thanks,
Keith
