Rename folder and file Directly from the Dropbox

Rename folder and file Directly from the Dropbox

Hello Team,

 

We have implemented Webhook functionality when we are renaming files or folders getting the response to continue API, but We do not identify what files or folder has been changed.

 

Any specific tag in the JSON response, while renaming folder and files.

 

Thanks & Regards

When monitoring changes via the Dropbox API, moves/renames will be represented as a deletion of the item at the original path, and an addition of the item at the new path. There isn't a specific tag that identifies a rename operation in particular, but you can keep track of file IDs to detect renames. File IDs don't change when something is renamed.

 

I recommend reading the File Access Guide and Detecting Changes Guide for more information on interacting with the Dropbox filesystem via the API.
