Is there any API that I can use to fetch the sync folder path on machine. The sync folder path is associated with the account.

The API doesn't offer a way to query the sync folder path, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

If your app is running on the machine though, you can find it using the info.json file documented here:

Thanks ! I can get a sync folder path using JSON file but is there any event to know if this path is changed. This path can be changed in two cases

1. When you change sync path

2. When you switch to other account.

 

I can monitor json file for any change but programming interface would be better for this purpose.

No, unfortunately there isn't an interface or notification system provided for this. I've sent this along as a feature request.
Need more support?
