Tracking permission changes for shared items

[tomdev l.]

Is there any way that I can be made aware when a permission for another user is added or removed on an item in a user's dropbox? Preferably only using the User endpoints. 

It's easy to see the current state of the permissions with list_folder_members and list_file_members, but I can't see any way to know when this has changed without frequently re-checking those APIs.

Unfortunately there isn't a good solution here. We'll consider it a feature request.

Right now, you'd either have to occasionally poll the user endpoints as you mentioned, or for Business apps, monitor /1/team/log/get_events or /2/team_log/get_events.
